Security of 5 separatist leaders withdrawn by J&K administration


Srinagar, Feb 17(PTI): The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Sunday issued orders to withdraw security of five separatist leaders, including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, officials said.

Besides the Mirwaiz, the security cover for Abdul Gani Bhat, Bilal Lone, Hashim Qureshi and Shabir Shah has been withdrawn, they said. However, there is no mention of pro-Pakistan separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani in the order.

According to the order, all security and vehicles provided to the separatists will stand withdrawn by Sunday evening.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If they have any other facilities provided by the government, they are to be withdrawn forthwith. Police will review if there are any other separatists who have security or facilities which will be withdrawn immediately, the officials said.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh, during his visit to Srinagar on Friday, had said security given to people getting funds from Pakistan and its snooping agency ISI should be reviewed.

"Some elements in Jammu and Kashmir have links with the ISI and terrorist organisations. Their security should be reviewed," he had said after reviewing security in the aftermath of dastardly terror attack in South Kashmir's Pulwama district.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed and five injured on Thursday in one of the deadliest terror strikes in Jammu and Kashmir when a Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber blew up an explosive-laden vehicle near their bus in Pulwama district.

The bus was part of a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying CRPF personnel from Jammu to Srinagar.

    People need to understand that this was not security but an 'insurance'. Tomorrow if something happens to them and they will be proclaimed as martyrs by the locals - leading to probability of Civil War erupting in J&K and possibly other areas. This is exactly how Pakistan wants to create disruptions in India. India should not let Pakistan succeed in their evil intentions.

    That would be ideal, it HAS to be done, why special status. ? These Kashmiris are living in our tax paid money where common day to day goods are damn cheap for them . Its all due to Nehru's policy of 370.
    As it is , its no longer the Vinci Congress era, the old leaders have become a subject of joke and ridicule. Its high time the Govt takes this step.
