‘Take back police cover, stop playing politics’ Mirwaiz tells Delhi

Srinagar: A day after the Government of India said that the Jammu and Kashmir government provides security cover to separatist leaders, Hurriyat Conference (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday called it as “devious tactic” and said the government is “free to take back its police cover and stop playing politics over it.”
Taking to social media, Mirwaiz said after New Delhi failed to break the will of resistance leadership with ‘NIA campaign’ they have now come up with ‘police security cover propaganda’ against them.
“Sustained attempt to discredit leadership to disillusion people. Be it the viscous NIA smear campaign which proved to a flop show or the “police security cover” propaganda. These devious tactics won’t keep the people away from me or me away from them… and the freedom movement! Govt free to take back its police cover and stop playing politics over it!” Mirwaiz tweeted after delivering his Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid Srinagar.
