He rejected the offer: Hurriyat (G)
Srinagar: Complying with the
directions from the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, the deputy commissioner
Srinagar accompanied by SSP Budgam on Wednesday visited the residence
of Syed Ali Geelani at Hyderpora offering him state airplane in order to take
him Delhi for treatment.
Well placed sources revealed to KNS that Farooq Ahmad
Shah, DC Srinagar along with SSP Budgam Irshad Ahmad visited Geelani’s
residence offering him all the services in case he wanted to avail them.
The visiting official delegation also inquired about
Geelani’s health. However, Hurriyat (G) spokesperson Ayaz Akbar told KNS that
DC Srinagar and SSP Budgam arrived at Geelani’s Hyderpora residence where they
met some of the office bearers but they could not meet Geelani because of his
ailing health. “The official delegation had offered state airplane to ferry
Geelani Sahib to Delhi for treatment but when he was appraised about the offer
he categorically rejected it saying there was no moral justification to accept
the offer,” said Ayaz Akbar when contacted by the KNS.
He told KNS that the offer was politically motivated move
from the Chief Minister who according to Akbar wanted to gain political mileage
out of it. “Geelani sahib rejected the offer saying that there is no
justification to accept any favours form an occupational authority,” Akbar
added. Due to the prevailing health conditions of Huriyat Conference (G)
Chairman Syed Ali Geelani, his family has decided to shift him to Delhi for
treatment and is leaving on March 13. (KNS)
