NEW DELHI: Involvement of hardline separatists in engineering some of the
violence in the Kashmir valley is indicated by an intercepted conversation
between two of them during which they discussed killing of at least 15
people in a procession near Srinagar on Wednesday.

A large procession had started in Budgam district on the outskirts of
Srinagar in the evening and two senior office-bearers of the hardline
Hurriyat faction led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani discussed how to utilise it to
create casualties, according to the transcript of the conversation available
with the Home Ministry.

According to the transcript, one of the office-bearers, Ghulam Ahmed Dar,
was heard telling Shabir Ahmed Wani, another office-bearer, that a
procession of nearly 20,000 people had started from Magam and was going
towards Budgam.

Wani tells Dar, "You guys enjoy payments sitting at home and do nothing."

Dar, in his response, says, "The management of crowd becomes difficult
later.....it gets difficult to manage the mob later."

Dar then ends up by saying, "At least 15 people should be martyred today."

However in the event, the police dispersed the procession with a mild cane
charge and no untoward incident took place.
