Srinagar, February 2, 2019:
All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) senior leader and Chairman, People’s Political Party (PPP) Engineer Hilal Ahmad War, was scheduled to register a peaceful protest march on Sunday (February 3, 2019) against Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir which is an internationally recognized disputed territory.
State Administration foiled Mr. War’s protest march and put him under house detention. Police officials informed the Engineer Hilal Ahmad War about his house detention on Saturday evening at 5 p.m. and said that he can’t move out from his Maisuma residence. The PPP spokesperson condemned the house arrest of pro-freedom leadership of Kashmir including party Chairman, Engineer Hilal Ahmad War in strong words saying it amounted to State oppression and a denial of right to expression which is tantamount to violation of Human Rights envisaged in Universal Declaration of Human Rights wherein India is a signatory.
