Chairman Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai has condemned the frequent cordon and search operations and arresting of youth by Indian troops in south Kashmir.
In a statement in Srinagar, he said the search operations are collective punishment being inflicted on Kashmiri people in the winter months.
Ashraf Sehrai said during the cardon and search operations, Indian forces compel people of all ages to stay out of their houses in the biting cold for hours.
