On Saturday while addressing the media persons at Hyderpora, Syed Ali Geelani said that it clearly proved that India is an autocratic state that believes in its military might & are desperate to suppress the freedom sentiments of people in state.

Terming the approach of Indian leaders on the issue of Kashmir as unrealistic, Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that their shrived policies has never helped in past nor it will deliver any good in future. The people are striving for freedom and pursuing their right to self-determination. They are not thoughtless instead people believing in military might and those who believe that they can deter us from our mission are living in fool’s paradise.
