Dal Khalsa condemns Geelani arrest
WSN Bureau 

AMRITSAR: Dal Khalsa has slammed J&K Government for booking veteran pro-freedom leader and chairman of APHC (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, under the Public Safety Act on Monday.

In a statement released from party’s head office, the Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said the arrest of Mr Geelani on the pretext that he has been calling “frequent strikes and protest marches” was unconstitutional and undemocratic.

Taking a dig at the administration, he said the aged and ailing leader has been released by the court four times during the past 40 days but was detained by police every time, coming up with lame excuses. “The police that considered itself as a law unto them had thrown all ethics and norms to winds vis-à-vis dealing with those who are striving for right to self determination for Kashmiris through non-violent means,” he added.
