TeH removes sign board from its office in Hyderpora

SRINAGAR — The sign board of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat at its head office at Syed Ali Geelani’s office-cum-residence in Hyderpora area of Srinagar, has been removed on Sunday evening.

Eyewitnesses told news agency Kashmir News Observer that the official sign board has been removed from the TeH’s office this evening by Geelani’s domestic workers.

However, it was not immediately known as to why the board has been removed.

Earlier, a report from news agency PTI said that a ban under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act may be imposed on both factions of the Hurriyat Conference conglomerate which has been spearheading the separatist movement in Jammu and Kashmir for over two decades.

The report quoted unnamed officials as having said that a recent probe into the granting of MBBS seats to Kashmiri students by institutions in Pakistan indicates that the money collected from aspirants by some organisations which were part of the Hurriyat Conference conglomerate was being used for funding ‘terror’ organisations in the union territory.
