SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Thursday reiterated the call for Shopian march on Friday.
In a statement Mirwaiz expressed serious concern over the prevailing situation in Shopian due to continuous curfew for past 13 days and said on the Friday, Hurriyat leadership and workers will march towards Shopian to offer Friday congregational prayers at Jamia Masjid Shopian.
It is unfortunate that the government, with the help of police and CRPF, had turned entire Shopian district into a garrison. People have been forcibly caged in their homes for the past 13 days which is the height of military might. We cant wait and act as mute spectators. Hurriyat cant afford to leave the entire population of Shopian district at the mercy of forces so we will march towards Shopian tomorrow.
Pertinently Shopian has been under curfew since September 8, barring September 11 when the authorities lifted curfew, but protests and subsequent firing led to another death and re-imposition of the restrictions in the town.
