GK NEWS NETWORK

Srinagar, Oct 13: Members of the non-governmental organization 'Peace Foundation' assaulted the Greater Kashmir Correspondent for South Kashmir, Khalid Gul at Islamabad on Thursday.   
 According to Khalid, soon after the speakers addressed the gathering, he was waiting to interview those who spoke on the occasion exclusively, but for unknown reasons, members of the NGO led by its patron Fayaz Ahmad Bhat, pounced upon and ruthlessly beat him up for covering the conference on ‘peace’.
 Khalid said the NGO members objected to the covering of the event by the media and asked him to leave.
 “As I refused, the NGO members caught hold of him and beat me to pulp. It was only after the intervention of police and other media persons covering the event that I was rescued,” he added.
 “Following my refusal to leave the venue they pounced upon me and roughed me up. They also hurled abuses on me and threatened to kill me. Policemen who were there saved me from their clutches," he said.
