In occupied Kashmir, the authorities imposed undeclared curfew in Srinagar, Badgam, Baramulla and Islamabad towns to prevent anti-election protest demonstrations after Juma prayers, today.
Defying curfew restrictions people took to streets in Baramulla town raising anti-India and Freedom slogans.
The authorities had placed under house arrest the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other Hurriyet leaders including Syed Ali Gilani, Maulana Abbas Ansari, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, Fazl Haq Qureshi and Mian Abdul Qayoom. They were not allowed even to offer Juma prayers. Juma congregations in majority of the mosques including historic Jamia Masjid Srinagar could not be held for the third consecutive Juma, today.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement in Srinagar strongly condemned the actions and urged the international community to take notice of the fact that India was not allowing Kashmiris to perform their religious rites.
Meanwhile, Syed Ali Gilani, Mohammad Azam Inqalabi, Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl and illegally detained APHC leader, Zafar Akbar Butt in their separate statements strongly denounced the terrorist attacks in Indian city Mumbai describing them as highly detestable.
