| Omar questions separatists over summer strikes | | Geelani, Malik, Mirwaiz placed under house arrest | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 27 (KNS): The Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, Friday criticized Hurriyat leaders for calling strikes during summer months and questioned their motive in getting more restive during peak of tourism season.
Omar wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter: “What is it about out Hurriyat friends (and their) need to create trouble on Fridays only in summer. Where were they all through winter????”
As part of Hurriyat (G) campaign against “illegal detention and ill-treatment of political prisoners across jails in Jammu and Kashmir”, the amalgam has been calling for frequent protest and strikes in the last month or so.
Pointing towards the sudden flurry of activity by the separatists groups during summer, the Chief Minister in his tweet accused them that they were either in New Delhi or traveling abroad during winter.
In a retweet to one of his followers, Omar said the separatist leaders “want to see a death.”
But his comments provoked some to react sarcastically. One of them, Shahid Bhat, posted on the Twitter: “At least they are visible through the summers. The government is nowhere to be seen, be it winter or summer.”
To this, Omar retweeted: “Well, if you roam around with your eyes tightly squeezed, you won’t see anything, will you?”
Meanwhile, authorities placed Geelani and, Hurriyat (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, JKLF chairman, Mohammad Yasin Malik and few other separatist unders under house arrest on Friday to ‘maintain law and order.’
While Geelani was not allowed to move out of his Hyderpora residence, restrictions were also placed on the movements of the Mirwaiz, who was restricted to his Nigeen residence. Malik was placed under house arrest in his Maisuma residence, reports said.
