Srinagar: Authorities
Monday placed all senior Kashmiri separatist leaders under house
arrest to maintain law and order during the congregational Eid
prayers in Srinagar.
"These measures have been taken to ensure that nobody disturbs
peace and tranquility in the city on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr,"
a police official said.
Those placed under house arrest include Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq, Shabir Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik and Muhammad Nayeem
Khan among others.
Authorities have been preventing the separatists from addressing
large public gatherings after the summer unrest of 2010 in which
107 people were killed in clashes between unruly mobs and security
forces.
Irate mobs had also indulged in large-scale arson and violence on
the day of Eid in 2010.
The central and state governments had blamed the local separatist
leaders for inciting people to resort to violence in 2010.
On Eid-ul-Fitr, thousands of locals gather at Eidgahs across the
state for thanksgiving at the end of the month of Ramadan.
