SRINAGAR, Aug 19:
Opposition parties from Jammu and Kashmir led by former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will call on President Pranab Mukherjee tomorrow to apprise him of the situation in the Valley, which continues to remain under curfew since July 8.
Omar, who held an all Opposition parties meeting earlier this week, will apprise the President about the continued difficulties being faced by the people because of continued curfew in the Valley.
He will be accompanied by Congress leaders led by State PCC chief G A Mir, CPM leader Mohammed Yusuf Tarigami, Independent MLA Hakeem Yasin and others.
The delegation will demand a probe by a retired Supreme Court Judge into allegations of excessive use of force by security personnel besides urging the Centre for holding a dialogue with all stakeholders.
Omar and other Opposition parties were worried about youths getting killed and injured in security forces’ firing, alleging the State and the Central Governments “mishandled” the situation.(PTI)
