Separatists in Kashmir on Friday demanded the release of political prisoners and accused New Delhi of trying to create a wedge between majority Muslims and minority Hindus in the State.
Srinagar, Sep 7 : Separatists in Kashmir on Friday demanded the release of political prisoners and accused New Delhi of trying to create a wedge between majority Muslims and minority Hindus in the State.
A breakaway faction of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) held a rally in Srinagar to demand the release of political prisoner Farooq Ahmad alias Bitta Karate and others.
The JKLF has for long been demanding release of political detainees and hundreds of others, who, they say, are innocent and arrested on flimsy charges.
"They have been proven innocent by the court and have been acquitted in all cases. Still in a conspiracy they are trying to create a rift between the Kashmiri Pandits and the Muslims," said Mohammad Salem, the Chairman of the JKLF's breakaway faction.
The police later arrested several protestors.
