The hardline separatist leader of Indian-controlled Kashmir Syed Ali Geelani Friday claimed the Hindu nationalist Bhartiya Janta Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi sent emissaries to him for a meeting over Kashmir issue.

"Two people came to meet me on March 22 and asked me to talk to Narendra Modi to get his commitment on Kashmir issue but I rejected their proposal telling them that Modi is Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-RSS man (a hardline Hindu organization) and we know his party's policy about Kashmir," Geelani said during a press conference at his Hyderpora residence in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

The 84-year-old Geelani was in Indian capital city New Delhi for treatment and reached back to Srinagar on Wednesday.

BJP has been very critical of Indian-controlled Kashmir separatists and their politics.

"He sent his people to various separatist leaders and those who said Modi's policy would be soft as prime minister have actually met his emissaries," Geelani told reporters without naming the chairman of moderate Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and the Jamaat-e-Islami chief Mohammed Abdullah Wani.

The two leaders have expressed hope Modi would take forward the mission of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former India prime minister on, Kashmir.

However both parties have rubbished Geeani's claims.

Geelani said that the government has put him under house arrest and is not allowing him to carry out boycott campaign.

"I have been put under house arrest and our leaders and activists are detained and harassed across the region," he said.

He has also issued a protest calendar against the on going India's general elections and urged people to boycott them.

"In the presence of 700,000 Indian troops no genuine election can be held," Geelani said. "India exploits the voting in its favor by claiming that people of Kashmir are with it."

A separatist movement challenging New Delhi's rule is going on in Indian-controlled Kashmir since 1989. Militant groups are also engaged in guerilla war with Indian troops across the restive region.
