Its in place to mention here that during the past 50-days the Hurriyat dove Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been issuing protest calendars on regular basis. "It's ridiculous that instead of booking him under the Public Safety Act (PSA) government is treating him like a state guest," said an analyst.
He said, "It's an established fact that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Yasin Malik have set Kashmir on fire to appease their bosses sitting across the Line of Control. Government is booking small fishes under PSA while the big fishes are calling the shots. It... | |
