In a statement, the police said the family sources of Geelani have said the letter purportedly issued by the octogenarian separatist leader is a 'fake' and has not been issued by him.
Meanwhile, Geelani also released a two-page letter in which he accused constituents of Hurriyat of inaction after the scrapping of Article 370.
Talking to media persons, Madhav said, “Whatever is happening in Karnataka is happening because of the ambitions of certain leaders of their own parties. There are leaders who are engineering dissent in the two parties. BJP has no involvement."
The situation for the BJP is not that comfortable as it was in the 2014 elections as the party is facing hurdles in the Jammu constituency where its candidate Jugal Kishore is seeking re-election.
The Mirwaiz had expressed anguish over the violation of the sanctity of the pulpit by a group of miscreants. "Such hooliganism that harms the mosque or misuses the name of Islam to spread anarchy and fear among people will not be tolerated at all," he said.
A spokesman for the Hurriyat said, "The phone call of Mehbooba Mufti condemning the Jamia incident which she is broadcasting in media for obvious reasons is quite ironical as it was during her tenure as Chief Minister that people were barred from offering prayers at the mosque most of the time."
The encounter began early in the morning when a joint team of Army, CRPF, and J&K Police cordoned off the area after receiving credible inputs about the presence of terrorists in the area.
Former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister says tie-up with BJP was like drinking poison.
Geelani's statement came following criticism of separatists for keeping mum on the attack on the school bus in Shopian and killing of three innocent youths by terrorists in Baramula a day before.
