KASHMIR-MIRWAIZ

Srinagar, Sep 12 (PTI) India's northernmost state Jammu
and Kashmir's police have registered a case against Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq, chairman of the moderate faction of Hurriyat
Conference, over burning of government properties by a mob
during a protest rally here, official sources said on Sunday.
An FIR was registered against the Mirwaiz at
Shaheedgunj police station in the state capital Srinagar under
sections 121, 121-A, 153, 153-A, 336 and 446 of the Ranbir
Penal Code (RPC), the sources said.
The case was registered after he held a protest
rally at Lal Chowk yesterday. Police say participants from the
rally later set on fire three government offices, including
the Crime Branch and Power Development Department
headquarters.
The Mirwaiz called for an half-an-hour sit in protest
in the heart of the city and later left for his home despite
assurances made by him that the crowd will disperse quietly
after the sit-in.
During his Eid sermon at Eidgah, where thousands of
people offered prayers, the Mirwaiz asked them to march to Lal
Chowk to stage a 30-minute protest against the recent killing
of people in Kashmir. PTI MIJ PRY
