Srinagar
A meeting of APHC senior leaders chaired by the chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was held at Hurriyat Hdqtrs Rajbagh Srinagar. Besides others, the members of the Hurriyat Executive Prof Abdul Gani Bhat, Bilal Gani Lone, Moulana Masroor Abbas Ansari, Musadiq Adil, and Mukhtar Ahmad Waza attended the meeting.
Condemning the government decision of imposing restrictions on the movement of civilian traffic including tourist vehicles on the Jammu-Srinagar highway and suspension of train services during Amarnath Yatra, the APHC said that the Yatris have always been welcomed by the people of Kashmir who have always facilitated its smooth conduct and lend support to it. However time and again Kashmiri’s are subject to inconvenience as the highway is shut down for them on one pretext or other.
APHC said that if those in power claim that the situation has greatly “improved,” then why are such extreme and unprecedented measures being used that were never used during the last three decades of conflict?
