Geelani biography leaves Jama’at fuming

Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir has decided to boycott all the meetings of Hurriyat Conference (G) for the time being as a protest against the book titled Qaid-e-Inquilab - A history, A movement authored by Dr Shafi Shariati.

The decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the prominent functionaries of Jama’at held here Monday with its Amir (Chief) Sheikh Muhammad Hassan in chair. Jama’at has alleged that the author in the book has vainly tried to distort the image of Jama’at and its history.

“This book has been written to malign the Jama’at and subject it to disgrace and humiliation by describing the events out of context. The author has tried to tar the Jama’at cadres and India’s paid agents with the same brush to blemish the image and stature of the former,” said the Jama’at spokesman advocate Zahid Ali in a statement on Monday.
