Srinagar,August 28:

As has been seen during the present uprising that Pakistan government
and its media has completely and surprisingly ignored the recent
happenings in Kashmir,the separatist Hurriyat Conference Thursday said
that it was "surprised at the silence of Pakistan over Kashmir". "We
are seriously concerned about the well-being of our leaders arrested
by the authorities here," said the joint coordination committee of the
moderate and hardline factions of the Hurriyat conference in a
statement issued here.

It is to be mentioned that senior separatist leaders, Syed Ali
Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik were arrested on
Sunday in the context of their proposed march to Lal Chowk.

Spokesperson of the coordination committee Masarat Alam blamed India
for using force against what he called "internationally accepted
peaceful protests in Kashmir".

The co-ordination committee asked the people to hold peaceful
demonstrations after Friday prayers across the valley.

Masarat Alam,a strong  advocateof  Jammu and Kashmir's merger with
Pakistan, said the separatist conglomerate was surprised at the
"silence of Pakistan over the developments in Kashmir".
