HURRIYAT LEADER ASKS GOVT TO REMOVE SECURITY
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 His statement comes a day after security cover of six separatist leaders, including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, was withdrawn, a decision that comes in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror strike in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.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.
