In a bid to foil Hurriyat (G) proposed rally in Pampore, where a fierce gun battle had raised between forces and militants, authorities have continued the house imprisonment of the amalgam’s Secretary General Shabir Ahmad Shah and Provincial President Nayeem Ahmad Khan.
Sources said that in a latest move, Geelani’s Personal Secretary Peer Saifullah, Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Mohammad Ashraf Laya have also been put under house arrest and dozens of other Hurriyat leaders and activists have been detained or are being searched by the police.
