NEW DELHI, July 25:
A day after seven Hurriyat leaders were arrested for funding elements to spark off unrest in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP leader Ram Madhav said the anti-national activities of Hurriyat leaders will not be tolerated.
“We assure people that illegal and anti-national activities of Hurriyat leaders will not be tolerated”, Madhav told a TV channel. He said the stir against security forces which turns out to be violent at times could be “partially spontaneous”, but it is largely sponsored by separatists.
“They get money through illegal routes from across the border. They are the ones who indulge in anti-India activities”, Madhav said. He said law will be asked to take its course. “Agencies will not be pressurised into not acting”, he said. Madhav further said “Innocent people of the Valley are becoming guinea pigs in these acts of separatists.”
Seven separatist leaders, including the son-in-law of Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani and a close aide of Hurriyat (M) chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq were arrested by the NIA yesterday. The seven leaders arrested are Altaf Shah, Ayaz Akbar, Peer Saifullah, Mehraj Kalwal, Shahid-ul-Islam, Nayeem Khan and Bitta Karate. (UNI)
