SRINAGAR, April 10: In occupied Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani while denouncing the killing of Kashmiris in Indian military operation at Varinag in Islamabad district and a trader in the Indian state of Punjab has said that the people of Kashmir are neither safe in Kashmir, nor in India.

Syed Ali Geelani criticized Indian authorities for not explaining the circumstances that led to the death of Kashmiri businessman in Jalandha, Punjab. The octogenarian leader said that breaking into someone’s house at midnight is itself a big crime and death caused by a heart attack is a murder.

It was the moral and legal responsibility of the Indian government to ensure the safety and security of the Kashmiri students, he added.-KMS
