Mirwaiz vows to continue poll boycott campaign


In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader while terming the crackdown on Hurriyet leaders and activists undemocratic, said that they would continue poll boycott campaign.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement issued in Srinagar said that by placing the liberation leaders under illegal house arrest the authorities had accepted defeat in the occupied territory.
“The same ploy was used to crush our anti-poll drive during the Assembly elections,” Mirwaiz said, adding that the occupation authorities had arrested many Hurriyet leaders and activists.
The APHC Chairman said that in the garb of maintaining law and order situation, the authorities prevented Muslims from performing their religious duties and even were not allowed to offer their Juma prayers.
