Srinagar, Nov 24: Terming the ongoing polls in the
state as a "drama", moderate faction of Hurriyat Conference
(HC) headed by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq today appealed to the
international community to send delegations to J&K on a
fact-finding mission.
We appeal to international organisations to send their
teams to Jammu and Kashmir to get a first hand account of the
ground situation, HC said in a statement here.
The amalgam alleged that a reign of terror has been let
loose by troops on the people of Baramulla and adjoining
areas of north Kashmir.
A hurriyat delegation led by chairman will visit
Baramulla tomorrow, it added.
Two youths were killed and several others were injured
when security forces allegedly opened fire during the violent
anti-poll protests in the north Kashmir town on Saturday.
The amalgam said Mirwaiz would inform the people about
the negative impact of the elections on the ongoing struggle
and reveal the strategy of the hurriyat to counter it.
