Srinagar: Government has decided to withdraw security of five Hurriyat leaders including Kashmir’s chief cleric and Hurriyat Conference (M) chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
Reports quoting officials said that all security and vehicles provided to the separatists will stand withdrawn by Sunday evening. No security forces or cover will be provided, under any pretext, to them or any other separatists. If they have any other facilities provided by the government, they are to be withdrawn forthwith.
“Some elements in Jammu and Kashmir have links with the ISI and militant organisations. Their security should be reviewed,” Indian Home minister Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said after reviewing security in the aftermath of dastardly terror attack in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
