Kashmir unrest: Separatists in huddle over 'future strategy'

With the unrest in the Valley entering its 123rd day on Tuesday, the Separatists held a meeting here with traders and other organisations to chalk out the future course of action.

Hurriyat faction chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik and Hurriyat faction head Syed Ali Geelani were present in the meeting in which all the forums including educationists, transporters, civil society members, religious, social and political organizations, bar association were called.

According to reports, various issues regarding the ongoing uprising and other issues like education and conduct of examination came up during talks.

The meeting comes after the government allowed the trio to meet on Sunday for the first time in the past four months since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8th, which threw the entire Valley into turmoil.

On November 2nd, authorities did not allow a similar meeting of separatists, by barring their entry into the residence of Geelani.
