New Delhi, December 04 (KMS): A Kashmiri lecturer, S.A.R. Geelani teaching at the Delhi University was prevented by Indian police from addressing a public meeting at Kochi in India. He was on a three-day visit to Kerala at the invitation of different Muslim organizations.
Geelani, who was an accused in the Parliament attack case, was acquitted by the Indian Supreme Court. However, the Sangh Parivar organizations have been carrying on a vicious campaign against him. Recently a leader of a Parivar youth organization had spat on him when he was attending a seminar in the university campus.
Geelani was to address a public meeting at Alappuzha under the auspices of the Kerala Jamaat Council. Before the meeting began, the police withdrew the permission granted earlier and also cancelled the permit for use of mike.
In a statement, Geelani said, “Under the pressure of Sangh Parivar fascists, the state government of Kerala did not allow us to exercise our democratic right of gathering peacefully and discussing.”
“I condemn this illegal and undemocratic attitude of police and the government of the state”, he added.
Geelani said, “This lumpenism has become the culture of sangh parivar which they have also demonstrated while killing Prof. Sabarwal at Ujjain and during the recent massacre of Christians at Orissa, raping nuns and the recent incidents at Karnataka.”
“This is sheer fascism and terrorism which should not be tolerated and since sangh parivar claims that it represents the Indian culture, democratic loving people of India are duty bound to come out and condemn this fascism in unequivocal terms”, Geelani maintained. courtesy
