Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference has postponed its executive meeting scheduled for July 9 in view of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) calling an emergency meeting of its Majlis-e-Shoora (command council) to discuss the situation arising out of the confrontation between People's Conference (PC) and Jamaat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Hurriyat sources said the executive, which was slated to meet to discuss the ways to counter Geelani's allegations had to be postponed, as Jamaat had called an emergency meeting of its command council.

The emergency meeting of the command council comes in the wake of allegations against Geelani made by PC chairman Sajjad Gani Lone at a press conference on July 8.

The sources said the barrage of allegations and counter-allegations exchanged by Geelani and Lone over the last few days had effectively ended any hopes of reconciliation attempted by the Hurriyat leadership.

Geelani, a firebrand Jamaat leader, has been demanding action against the People's Conference for allegedly taking part in the 2002 Assembly elections through dummy candidates.

He has refused to participate in any Hurriyat proceedings till People's Conference is thrown out of the 25-party conglomerate.

Lone, on his part, regretted Geelani's utterances and accused him of making vicious statements, which created an atmosphere that led to his father Abdul Gani Lone's killing in 2002.

He also accused Geelani of advocating 'jihad' for children of common masses while ensuring that his own did not follow the path.
