Kin of two separatist leaders, late Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and banned Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) chairman Shabir Shah, have issued public notices through a local daily in Kashmir “disassociating” themselves from the separatist outfits.
In two separate notices published in a local daily, Greater Kashmir, Shabir Shah’s daughter Sama Shabir, and Geelani’s granddaughter Ruwa Shah, stated that “they have no inclination towards separatist ideology”.
“I have no inclination or sympathy towards Hurriyat Conference ideology. I am a loyal citizen of India not affiliated with any organisation or association which has an agenda against the Union of India, and I owe allegiance to the Constitution of my country (India),” Ms. Shah said.
