In a statement issued here today, Kashmiri said that KPs have pinned high hopes on Mr Modi. He also advised agents and aids of Hurriyat, pseudo secularists and other separatist groups within the KP community not to create confusion among KPs for their selfish interests which could harm the overall interests of the community.
He also reiterated firm stand of KPs that Kashmir is a settled issue and there is no need to talk over this issue either with Geelani, Pakistan or with any other separatist group of Kashmir.

Geelani’s animosity towards the law abiding numerically diminutive minority of Kashmir is well known, said JKVM in a statement issued from New Delhi.
His hands are soaked with the blood of ordinary Kashmiris and his role in extirpation of Pandit community is an established fact.
The statement said that Geelani continues to play politics with displaced community is clear from his statements from time to time. He thrives on divisive politics and is constantly engaged in widening the gap between Muslim majority and Hindu minority of Kashmir by creating suspicious and feat in the minds of majority community.

President All India Kashmiri Pandit Conference (AIKPC), H N Jatoo while condemning the statement of Mr Geelani has asked him to name the two KP emissaries of BJP leader who met him instead of making a drama to seek publicity.
Mr Jatoo said Mr Geelani by such statements was trying to attain cheap publicity and have one upmanship over his rival group. He asked Mr Geelani to refrain from creating any controversy and in case nay emissary has met him he should name him publicly.
Kashmiri Hindu Conference (KHC) president M L Thussoo and convener P L Kaul Badgami also strongly condemned the statement of Geelani saying the Hurriyat hardliner was again trying to create a controversy and vitiate the political atmosphere in the State by beating about the bush.
