Srinagar, Nov 24: The Hurriyat (M) on Wednesday started a campaign to aware the people of India about the rights violations allegedly committed by the armed forces in the Valley and the need for the resolution of Kashmir issue.
 The Hurriyat (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Executive Council member, Bilal Gani Lone left for Chandigarh to attend the seminar organized by a local NGO and are expected to travel to Kolkata for attending another seminar, the party communiqué said.
 Mirwaiz would also travel to Lucknow and New Delhi to attend the seminars organized by the civil society groups, it added.
 The duo would also meet the envoys of Muslim countries in New Delhi to aware them about “usurping” of religious and political rights of Kashmiri Muslims by the government of India and state Government.
 Talking to Greater Kashmir over phone from Chandigarh, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said the need of hour was to aware the people of India about the reality in Kashmir.
 “The people of India cannot shy away from its moral obligation of resolving Kashmir issue and India has always tried that its people see Kashmir through Pakistani prism. We want to tell them reality about Kashmir,” he said.
 Mirwaiz said some sections of media allegedly portrayed negative picture of Kashmir before the people and their efforts would be to sensitize its citizens about rights violations allegedly committed by the troopers.
 “The aim of meeting envoys of OIC is to apprise them about religious curbs imposed on Kashmiris Muslims and seek their intervention in the matter, “he said.
