Syed Ali Shah Geelani today renewed his demand for expulsion
of peoples conference from the Hurriyat Conference and served
an ultimatum on the separatist amalgam to do so within a week
or face the formation of an alternative to it .
"Participants in the September 2002 assembly elections
and those who did not launch campaign against the polls are
the biggest traitors," Geelani said winding up a three-hour
meeting of like-minded separatist leaders at his Hyderpora
residence here this evening.
He rejected the contention of Hurriyat chairman Abdul Gani
Bhat that those who deserted Hurriyat would be traitors.
He said "Now the ball is in the court of Hurriyat. If it
expels peoples conference at this moment, Hurriyat wins the
first round. We are ready to extend our support to Hurriyat
afresh."
However, he said the final decision regarding formation of an alternative to the Hurriyat would be taken within four days and the announcement regarding its formation would be made at a meet-the-people campaign being launched by him at Sopore on July 4, he said.
