Srinagar, Apr 19: Senior Hurriyat leader and chairman Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Ahmed Shah, booked under Public Safety Act, has been charged with fomenting trouble in Kashmir and advocating secessionist ideology.

 “You continue to do so even today and indulge in anti-national activities,” reads the dossier.
 “This new strategy is highly prejudicial to the maintenance of the security of the state besides endangering human life and property,” it added.

 “Intelligence reports have revealed that on Jan 12, 2010 you have attended a condolence meeting in Dalgate and said that the army and security forces are indulging in wanton killing of innocent people and projected the death of the youth (Inayat Khan) as a result of communal hatred, and resorted to various means to arouse the sentiments of common people against the Union of India,” it said.
