Separatists on Wednesday asked people “to ostracise Delhi’s collaborators and so-called representatives” in the Kashmir Valley, as fresh street violence forced the government to reimpose curfew in Srinagar and other parts for 19th consecutive day.
Referring to PDP, NC and Congress leaders, a joint statement by separatist leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik asked them to join the “people’s movement.”
“Being collaborators and loyalist abettors of India, so-called representatives are equal partners in crime against people of Kashmir. From 1947, these collaborators provided a local face to India’s authoritarian rule. It is time people hold them accountable, answerable and ostracise and boycott them,” reads the statement.
