Geelani asks Kashmiris to boycott polls

Srinagar: Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani Friday called for a boycott of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls that will be followed by the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. Geelani was addressing a gathering after Friday prayers in north Kashmir’s Sopore town, 54 km from summer capital Srinagar. He said solutions like the self-rule of the PDP or the autonomy proposed by the ruling NC or any other option offered by other political parties would not be accepted by Kashmiris. (IANS)
