Srinagar, Oct 17 (Only Kashmir): Senior Hurriyat leader and People’s Political Party (PPP) Chairman Engineer Hilal Ahmad War Tuesday expressing the concern over the rising incidents of braid chopping said such nefarious tactics are aimed at diverting the attention of the masses, so that they are caught up in issues like these and as a result stay away from various activities .
Hilal War was speaking at a public gathering at Maisuma where a widow mother of two was sprayed and her braid chopped off on Monday which trigged the clashes in area. War expressed his deep concern and anguish over the rising incidents of braid-chopping. He said our women can’t be terrorized and humiliated like this and that his party can launch an outright movement against it, if the incidents don’t stop. “This is an extremely serious matter and it’s an attack on the honour of the entire community. We can’t be cowed down by such tactics,” said Mr. War.
