Hard-line separatist leader, Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Wednesday said that 'henceforth his movement for troop withdrawal would be extremely peaceful'.
"We will ensure that our peaceful movement for troop withdrawal continues. We will even avoid shouting provocative slogans."
Geelani alleged that 'excessive force had been used during the five-month long summer unrest to push the people to take up arms'.
"But we want to tell India that anger and atrocities will not take us over," Geelani said while addressing a seminar titled 'United Nations resolutions and sacrifices of the oppressed Nation' at his party headquarters in Srinagar.
Geelani urged 'Pakistan to revive the UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir and press for their implementation'.
"The UN resolutions on Kashmir can be renewed if Pakistan brings up the resolution and seeks support from OIC, and the countries like China and Brazil. This way the resolutions can be revived," he said.
Geelani asserted that he was 'not for annexing any genuine part of India' but was 'only pressing for the right to self determination for people of Kashmir'.
