JAMMU: Reacting strongly against the Hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani’s remarks on the annual Amarnath Yatra, State President, Shri Ram Sena (SRS) Rajiv Mahajan threatened to launch a strong agitation against the curtailment of Amarnath Yatra duration.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, Rajiv Mahajan said that Yatra shall commence from auspicious Jyeshth Purnima, a practice which has been going on for the last several years.

He said that Hurriyat leaders were not entitled to interfere with the affairs of the Amarnath Yatra including its schedule and conduct. Rajiv questioned that if Muslims and Christans can visit their religious places during any time of the year, why can’t the Hindus be allowed to visit Amarnath Shrine as per their wish?

He warned that any tampering with schedule of Amarnath Yatra could lead to a dangerous confrontation.

Reacting strongly against the waving of Pakistani flag during rally, Mahajan demanded immediate arrest of Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
