ISIS Does Not Represent Islam: Syed Ali Shah Geelani

Syed Ali Shah Geelani's remarks came against the backdrop of repeated display of ISIS flag by some youth during protests in Kashmir.

Srinagar: Separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani has denounced the ISIS against the backdrop of repeated display of its flag in Kashmir, saying it is a terrorist organisation which does not represent Islam.

"ISIS, Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and other like groups does not represent Islam. Daesh (alternate name of ISIS) is a terrorist organisation which is killing innocent people and the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan is weakening Pakistan internally," he said.

His remarks came against the backdrop of repeated display of ISIS flag by some youth during protests in Kashmir since the last few months.

Mr Geelani, while addressing a seminar on 'UN resolutions on Kashmir' here, also termed as a "futile exercise" the present India-Pakistan dialogue process.
