'Mirwaiz', Attacked For His Separatist "Anti-India" Speech: Chandigarh

J & K separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, this forenoon at Chandigarh, was heckled and roughed up at a Jammu & Kashmir seminar after he reportedly gave an anti-India speech. Earlier this November, Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and writer Arundhati Roy were heckled at a Delhi seminar on the charge of sedition for their alleged anti-India statements. A group of Kashmiri pandits and Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP) supporters, who were part of the audience, were allegedly behind this reaction. Reacting to the incident, Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said, "I don't condone it. Don't have much to say, it's a reaction to Hurriyat's politics and policies."
