New Delhi, October 21: In New Delhi, the
hooligans of extremist Hindu organization, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh,
made a failed attempt to attack veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed
Ali Gilani, at a seminar on Kashmir, today, reports Kashmir Media Service.
According to reports, when the veteran leader reached the venue of the seminar, the RSS people rushed to assault him.
However, their plan failed when a group of enthusiastic Kashmiri
youth encircled Syed Ali Gilani and shielded him from attack. The
incident was followed by forceful anti-India and pro-liberation slogans,
which reverberated the seminar hall continuously for half an hour.
The event was organised by the Committee for the Release of Political
Prisoners and those who spoke on the occasion included Syed Ali Gilani,
Arundhati Roy, Professor Abdur Rehman, Professor Sujatha Rao, Najeeb
Bukhari, Dr Sheikh Showkat Hussain, Varvara Rao and Dr N. Venu. The
majority of speakers stressed the need for an early resolution of the
Kashmir dispute while denouncing the human rights violations by Indian
troops in the occupied territory.
