Members of separatist groups, affiliated with Hurriyat Conference factions of Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and JKLF of Yasin Malik, held a joint protest on Monday against the issuance of domicile certificates to West Pakistan refugees (WPRs).
The members of the separatist groups held the protest at Abi Guzar in the city here. The demonstration was held against the issuance of domicile certificates to West Pakistan refugees and also against allowing outside banks to confiscate and hold properties in the state.
The separatists termed the two issues as a matter of “life and death for our national life”. “No Kashmiri can afford to sit silent on these issues,” the protesting separatists said.
The protesters marched towards Lal Chowk, but were intercepted by the police. The separatists described the issue as the “part of conspiracy to hurt and compromise the state subject status of Jammu and Kashmir and hence change the demography”.
