Srinagar, Aug 24: Family of former Huriyat Conference chairman, Syed Ali Geelani today appealed to the media to not circulate any information without the authenticity of his political representative Abdullah Geelani and appealed to people to give him and his family space.
A statement issued here said that Geelani is in advanced age with multiple ailments. “He needs round the clock medical as well as personal attention”, the statement said.
“His recent health condition has stressed people especially his family. Therefore, it is time to give him some amount of relaxation and his family, a space to attend him in a better position at this critical juncture. His health condition demands family to be careful, focused and attentive, more so amid the pandemic”, the statement added.
“We will keep the people updated regarding his health and his representative, Abdullah Gilani, will respond and react to his political issues”, the statement reads.
“Past few months have been very hard for all of us. On one hand we are busy dealing with his health condition and we have been consumed physically as well as mentally. On the other hand continuously dragging the family into his political affairs has taken a heavy toll on our personal as well as domestic life. It is unfortunate that people with vested interests have launched a vicious campaign to malign him. Repeated and fabricated letters in his name, posts, comments and imaginary stories is disturbing him and affecting his health very badly. The unnecessary social media campaigns and hounding of family only adds to our already stressful life”, the statement added.
