SRINAGAR: Senior Hurriyat Conference leader Maulana Abbas Ansari Monday asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to withdraw security personnel posted at his residence. His statement comes a day after security cover of six separatist leaders, including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, was withdrawn, a decision that comes in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror strike in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. “We will not provide any kind of accommodat­ion to the security personnel henceforth, “the Hurriyat Conference leader said. A spokesman of the Ansari-led Ittehadul Muslimeen said it was the government’s decision at that time to provide security and today, it is their decision to remove it.
