PESHAWAR: Funeral prayers in absentia were offered for the senior Kashmiri Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Geelani, at the University of Peshawar on Friday.
Shafiqur Rehman, Nazim Islamia Students Federation, led the funeral prayers of the great Kashmiri leader, who stood against Indian occupational forces and fought for liberation of the India-held Kashmir till his last breath.
The funeral was attended by a large number of people and students.
Later, a protest rally was taken out to condemn India’s illegal move for not allowing Kashmiris to attend the Geelani’s funeral. The participants demanded of the UN Security Council to implement its resolutions on Kashmir to give right of self-determination to the oppressed people.
