Srinagar: All Parties Hurriyet Conference (Gilani) Chairman Syed Ali Gilani has received life threats from underworld don Ravi Pujari.
APHC (Gilani) Spokesman Ayaz Akbar said that Pujari called on the landline number of Hurriyet office in Hyderpura in Srinagar using uncivilized, abusive and threatening tone.
“The gangster himself confirmed the threat call on a private news channel of India threatening to kill Gilani,” the spokesman said. “Despite all these threats, Gilani will continue to pursue his stand and continue his struggle for freedom of Kashmir,” Ayaz said.
He said that issuing threatening statements on a TV channel by a gangster raises many questions and it clearly indicates that he has the backing of the Indian government and communal forces of India.
The spokesman said that the Indian government would be held directly responsible if any unpleasant incident happened to the Hurriyet chairman. “Hurriyet is mulling over consulting legal experts on the issue,” he said.
Akbar said the gangster’s sudden intervention in the Kashmir dispute is not meaningless. “Ravi Pujari is a third-grade uncivilized goon and his threat to kill Gilani is a matter of concern in the wake of rising intolerance in India.”
