Quoting news from Times of India in a tweet on Sunday, he said snatching the body of the 92 years old Syed Ali Gillani, one of the most respected and principled Kashmiri leader, and then registering cases against his family is just another shameful example of India's descent into fascism under the Nazi-inspired RSS-BJP government.

Geelani was buried in a tightly controlled pre-dawn ceremony on Thursday morning after Indian authorities allegedly snatched his body from his family and disallowed his burial to be held in accordance with his will.

Indian officials said on Sunday that police in Indian-occupied Kashmir had charged Geelani's family members under a harsh anti-terror law for raising anti-India slogans and wrapping his body in the Pakistani flag.
