Kashmir’s hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani on Saturday said he would write letters to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Government of Pakistan calling for increased vigil inside prisons and demanding an immediate end to recent attacks against prisoners, which he termed were acts of reprisal.
Geelani, while addressing a press conference at his residence here in the city, said the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan were the ‘custodians’ of prisoners and they should fulfil their responsibility towards securing their lives.
“We will write letters to the Prime Minister of India and caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan and tell them that they should increase vigil on the prisons and should not let these acts of reprisal to continue,” said Geelani.
