ISLAMABAD: In occupied Kashmir, a massive march will be conducted towards Srinagar’s historic Lal Chowk tomorrow to register protest against the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s visit to the territory.

Call for the march has been given by the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.

The leadership said, Modi’s proposed visit to the occupied territory is aimed at giving a false impression to the world that Kashmiri people are happy under the Indian democracy whereas India has made the territory a hell.

Hurriyat leaders and organizations have appealed to people to hoist black flags on the rooftops of their houses and other vantage places. The Indian police and troops have intensified frisking of people and vehicles across the territory ahead of Modi’s visit in the name of so-called security measures.

The occupation authorities have put Hurriyat leaders including Syed Ali Gilani, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, Bilal Siddiqi, Mukhtar Ahmed Waza, Zafar Akbar Butt and Javaid Ahmed Mir under house arrest or in custody to prevent them from leading the march. AFP
