Srinagar, April 28 (KNO) : Strongly condemning “unabated arrest and harassment of leaders and activists", a spokesman of the Hurriyat conference said, "such methods cannot weaken the will of Hurriyat leadership and activists."
"The arrest of Ashiq Hussain Narchoor, Asif Ahmad Dada and Ashfaq Ahmad Kotwal in Islamabad (Anantnag) is unjustified, saying Ashiq Hussain is a political worker and in no way is related to militancy while as the two-detained youth are not connected to any political party, spokesman said.
Strongly decrying the detention of political workers and civilians on one pretext or the other, spokesman said that youth are being caged on fake and fabricated charges just for material gains and promotions and added “slapping PSAs on pro-freedom leaders and activists have always been a tool of the rulers to try and force the people and leadership into submission,” the Hurriyat said in the statement.
