Hurriyat activists lathicharged
Srinagar, September 28 Meanwhile, the breakaway Hurriyat Conference has given a strike call tomorrow in protest against the court’s order. About 35 leaders and activists of the Hurriyat Conference and Democratic Liberation Party (DLP) were also taken in custody while five, including a woman, were injured in police action. The Conference activists led by the general secretary Ghulam Nabi Sumbji took to the streets from the Amalgam headquarters at Rajbagh. However, when the procession reached near Zero bridge, the police stopped them from proceeding towards Lal Chowk, the nerve centre of the summer capital. When the mob refused to disperse, the police resorted to lathicharge and fired teargas shells in which five persons, including a woman activist of the Muslim Khawateen Markaz (MKM) Asiya were injured. The police also resorted to lathicharge to disperse activists of the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Liberation Party (DLP) at Regal Chowk near here. Demanding release of Afzal Guru, the DLP activists took to the streets at Lal Chowk. However, after marching through different streets in the civil lines, the cops tried to stop them from proceeding towards the Moulana Azad road. Later, the police resorted to baton-charge to disperse the crowd.

Separatists silent on Musharraf’s memoir
Jammu, September 28 Prof Mattoo, who was talking to this correspondent today, said any reaction of India should be based on the actions of Pakistan. Prof Mattoo, who was a member of the task force set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on global strategic developments, said the book suggested that Musharraf was trying to justify his role in various controversial events. It also reflects his effort to secure support for another term as head of Pakistan. Prof Mattoo, who recently visited Pakistan, said the people there were yearning for peace. Musharraf also needed peace with India. Prof Mattoo said during his visit to Pakistan, he observed that Musharraf was getting isolated after the killing of the Baloch leader, Nawab Bugti, by the Pakistani army. Meanwhile, Musharraf’s book has created ripples in Jammu and Kashmir with the Kashmir-based separatists observing a silence on it and political observers in Jammu describing it as an attempt of Musharraf to secure support for sticking to his chair. The separatist leaders in the valley refused to react to the memoirs of the president on the plea that they had yet to see the book and could not comment on the basis of the excerpts published in the media or reaction of the opposition parties in Pakistan that had described the memoirs as a pack of lies and national shame. Leader of the breakaway Hurriyat Syed Ali Shah Geelani said he had not yet got a copy of the memoirs and would be in a position to react only after going through the book. Shabir Shah, chairman of the J&K Democratic Freedom Party, said many Indian leaders, including Atal Behari Vajpayee, had denied what Musharraf had written in the book.
