#Geelani concerned over ‘disappearance’ of Kashmiri youth in #Mumbai #Srinagar,: Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani has expressed his deep concern over the disappearance and murderous attack on young Kashmiri Parvez Ahmed Telli in Mumbai. “Kashmiris do not feel safe in any corner of India and police, intelligence agencies and communal forces are terrorizing Kashmiri people,” he said in a statement. Quoting Chief Minister Omer Abdullah’s claims about the safety of Kashmir outside state, Geelani said, “The claims proved to be a hoax as Kashmiris are still being terrified and harassed at the hands of different agencies.” While emphasizing over immediate release of Teli, he said that local policehave failed to provide any clue and the family members of the missing youth were told that they are not in position to provide any assistance or help. “Though Telli has been missing for several days, yet his family is not being provided any kind of information about his whereabouts. Telli has a beard over his face and follows the norms and Islamic rituals. It is apprehended that the intelligence agencies on suspicionmight have taken him into custody and are interrogating him,” he said and added that whosoever with a beard on his face istreated as terrorist and apprehended and subjected to questioning. “Fortunately or unfortunately, if the victim turns to be a Kashmiri then it isconsidered dangerous and there is noguarantee for victim’s safety. Till today hundreds of Kashmir’s were arrested by police and intelligence agencies and either disappeared or put behind bars for years,” Geelani said and added that there are many examples when a person after serving jail term for 14 years or more were acquitted from allcharges and court declared them innocents. He assured that Teli belongs to every Kashmiri family and “we treat him our son and God forbid if they did anyharm to him, we will stand with his family,” he added.
