The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had on Friday summoned Naseem-ul-Zafar Geelani to its headquarters in New Delhi in connection with a terror funding case.
The separatists, under the banner of Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), alleged the central government, "using the NIA and the ED, has time and again summoned hundreds of others including both sons of Geelani to Delhi several times, wasting their precious time, intimidating and humiliating them".
"Summoning Syed Naseem Geelani to Delhi is an act of vengeance and harassment. Forcing one for talks by bullying is ridiculous," the separatists said.
