Mirwaiz-led
Hurriyat expels prominent leaders
Fissures have surfaced
in the ‘moderate’ faction of Kashmir’s separatist conglomerate All-Party
Hurriyat Conference (APHC) with its chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq terminating
the membership of some key constituents represented by some senior leaders.
“The
APHC has terminated the representation of Shabir Ahmad Shah [Democratic Freedom
Party], Nayeem Ahmad Khan [National Front] and Mohammad Azam Inquilabi
[Mahaz-e-Azadi] for their indiscipline, anti-Hurriyat activities and continued
absence from meetings for the last over 18 months. Following their differences
with some of the APHC leaders, we constituted enquiries, called them for
cooperating with the investigation and maintain the organisational disciple. As
they chose to be not amenable and ignored all invites and opportunities, we
were constrained to fulfil the constitutional requirements. They are no more
members of the APHC,” the Mirwaiz told The Hindu on
Friday.
The
Mirwaiz confirmed having mailed a letter, a copy of which is with The Hindu,
to the APHC’s PoK convener Yousuf Naseem on December 27, following the APHC
executive council’s decision, with the direction that the representatives of
some constituents may no longer be invited to the group’s meeting in
Muzaffarabad.
