PPP Chairman, Er. Hilal Ahmad War, Arrested from his Maisuma residence today early in the morning by State Police

Srinagar, Jun 28: A heavy contingent of J&K Police headed by Dy.S.P. East (Kothibagh) raided the Maisuma House of People’s Political Party (PPP), Chairman, today early in the morning and arrested the party Chairman Hilal Ahmed War. War’s arrest is seen as a preventive measure by the State police against a possible ‘Sopore Chalo’ march that the Hurriyat (M and G) had announced. Chairman PPP, while endorsing Hurriyat (M and G‘s) call had urged the people to take to the streets and register a peaceful protest in the form of a rally. “People should come out in large numbers in response to Hurriyat’s call peacefully,” said War.

The PPP Chief has been lodged in Police Station Rajbagh. A party spokesperson condemned his arrest in strong words saying it amounted to State oppression and a denial of right to ex-pression. “This highhandedness of the State shows the times we are living in. If one is not even allowed to demonstrate peacefully, it leaves a big void for violent demonstrations,” said the PPP Spokesman. Mr. War had urged youths to make sure no stone-pelting incident occurred. (Writer-South Asia)
