“It is unfortunate that the government with the help of police and CRPF had turned entire Shopian district into a garrison. “People have been forcibly caged in their homes for the past 13 days which is the height of military might. We can’t wait and act as mute spectators. Hurriyat can’t afford to leave the entire population of Shopian district at the mercy of forces so we will march towards Shopian tomorrow. Pertinently, on Wednesday Mirwaiz urged the leaders and workers to lead a march towards Shopian for Friday congregational prayers.
