Srinagar: Shabir Ahmad Shah (President Democratic Freedom Party) and Er. Hilal Ahmad War (Chairman Peoples Political Party) along with other pro-freedom activists were today arrested while moving towards the martyrs graveyard to pay their tributes to the martyrs of 1931.

Defying strong and tight security restrictions the duo moved from the Freedom House Sanat-Nagar breaking the tight cordon of the security forces and successfully addressed a gathering of freedom lovers. Addressing the gathering Shabir Ahmad Shah said that the main-stream politicians had no moral as well as political right what so ever to visit the martyrs graveyard and pay their pseudo homages. Mr. War maintaining the same stand added further that the cause for which the martyrs of 1931 sacrificed their lives were completely antagonistic to what the main-stream leadership was based on in Kashmir at present.

Hilal Ahmad War) were arrested and lodged in Sadar Police Station, Srinagar.
