Complete strike in IHK at martyrdom week’s conclusion

In occupied Kashmir, complete strike is being observed today, to mark the martyrdom anniversaries of prominent Kashmiri liberation leaders, Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq and Khawaja Abdul Ghani Lone.
Call for the strike has been given by the All Parties Hurriyet Conference, climaxing the observance of Martyrdom Week.
It was on this day in 1990 that Indian agents shot dead Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq at his residence in Srinagar. Khawaja Abdul Ghani Lone was similarly martyred on the same day in 2002, when he was returning after addressing a gathering organized at Eidgah in Srinagar to commemorate Mirwaiz’s martyrdom anniversary.(Inputs taken from KMS)
