ISLAMABAD – Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani has boycotted the Eid Milan being hosted by the Pakistan High Commission on July 21 over ignoring the Kashmir issue during Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's meeting with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in Ufa, Russia last week, reported 92 News. Geelani said that he would protest by not attending the Eid Milan. "As the two prime ministers ignored the fate of over 10 million people of Jammu and Kashmir in their meeting, we reject being a part of any of their (Pakistan's) celebration," he was quoted, as saying.
