Police foils Mirwaiz Umar Farooq’s presser

Srinagar/July,29: Authorities on Saturday foiled a proposed news conference of Hurriyat (M) chief Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq at his residence in Srinagar.

A spokesman said that the authorities deployed heavy contingents of forces to prevent Mirwaiz to address the press.

“No journalist was allowed as such to cover the event as the route leading to Mirwaiz’s Nageen residence has been completely sealed by barbed wires,” said the spokesman.

“Now the Press Conference will be addressed online through twitter/facebook. You are requested to be online at 4:30 P.M.”
