Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Gilani laid to rest

SRINAGAR (92 News) – In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the veteran Hurriyat leader and the icon of Kashmir Freedom Movement, Syed Ali Gilani, has been laid to rest in tight military siege at Haiderpora in Srinagar.

The occupation authorities had put strict restrictions on the movement of the people and the whole area was cordoned off.

Although Syed Ali Gilani and his family wanted him to be buried at Martyrs Graveyard in Srinagar, but the Indian authorities did not allow it fearing agitation from people of occupied Kashmir. He was buried just few meters away from his house in Hyderpora, Srinagar.

A small number of people mainly some close relatives were allowed to participate in the funeral prayers and to have a last glimpse of the martyred leader.

Soon after the news of Syed Ali Gilani’s demise spread out, announcements were made from mosques around Srinagar calling out people to come out of their homes to pay homage to Syed Ali Gilani.

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has asked people to hold Gaibana Namaz-e-Janza (funerals in absentia) in every nook and corner of the occupied territory.
