SRINAGAR: Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Thursday reiterated his threat to launch a mass agitation, after the forthcoming Eid, against the state government's road connectivity project for the Hindu religious shrine, Amarnath cave in the Himalayas in south Kashmir.
Geelani alleged that the construction of a metalled road for pilgrims and concrete structures on the Amarnath pilgrimage route was being proposed on prohibited forest area.
Addressing a press conference at his residence here, the firebrand Islamist said that the government's plan was adverse to environment.
He demanded: " (a) No road should be constructed (b) yatra (pilgrimage) should be reduced to 15 days period besides limited number of yatris should allowed to undertake the pilgrimage (c) yatra should be conducted by the local kashmiri pundits (d) abolish amaranth shrine board (e) non-state subjects should not be allowed to interfere in the conduct of the yatra."
Geelani said that he had warned the state government on September 2, to give up the plan.
"Though two state ministers promised that no road will be constructed up to Amarnath cave. But in a recent meeting with governor N N Vohra, chief minister Omar Abdullah has agreed to implement the supreme court direction on the road connectivity to the cave," the separatist said.
"We have investigated and inspected and found that the state government has already started the construction of the road up to the cave. And the construction material has already been taken to the site," Geelani said.
He accused the ruling National Conference led coalition government for "acting on the dictates of the central government and implementing its political agenda with its eyes shut."
