In Kulgam Task force and police personals raided the house of District president Mohammad Shaban while as party leader and a religious scholar Bashir Ahmad Qureshi was arrested on way to Srinagar and detained in Spoore, the statement read.

They should convey to their seniors that there is no justification for laying curbs on these occasions otherwise they have to face the consequences as it will provoke and invite the wrath of people, said spokesman.
