Srinagar, July 04 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has strongly condemned attacks by Hindu fanatics on Muslims’ houses and shops in Jammu, Rajouri, Samba and Bhadarwah.

Addressing a press conference in Srinagar the APHC Chairman said that Indian agencies in collaboration with Hindu communal parties were acting upon the plans of creating communal discord amongst people of Kashmir adding that the people of Kashmir would not allow such nefarious designs to succeed.

You are our guests and we are here to help you in solving your problems.”
