Srinagar: Shut Hurriyat office signboard removed in protests against Kashmiri Pandit's killing
Srinagar: A group of activists on Monday ransacked the shut office of separatist group of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) in Srinagar, witnesses said.
The group members said this was done in protest against the recent killing of Kashmiri Pandit in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The protesters removed the office signboard of APHC and wrote India at the main gate of the Hurriyat office at Rajbagh.
The protesters blamed the Hurriyat Conference for the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The children of Hurriyat leaders are studying abroad and they put guns and stones in the hands of the youth here," said a protester, adding "Hurriyat also incited the youth."
In August, a Kashmiri Pandit had affixed the tricolor on Hurriyat office. The tricolor was later removed from the gate.
The office of APHC has been shut after the scrapping of J&K's special status on August 5, 2019. The Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been under "house arrest" since the abrogation of Article 370.
