Srinagar, Nov 15 : Police on Wednesday foiled a joint march by separatist leaders Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik by taking them into preventing custody here.
They were detained just as they started a march towards the city centre Lal Chowk from the nearby Abi Guzar office of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).
The two leaders addressed a joint press conference at the JKLF office earlier.
Earlier, the resistance leaders called for a complete shutdown on November 27.
“We appeal for complete shutdown on Nov 27 to show solidarity with the Kashmiri Prisoners languishing in different jails,” Mirwaiz said addressing a press conference ahead of the protest march and subsequent arrest.
