Mirwaiz Umar Farooq  

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has asked Hurriyat leader and JK Salvation Movement chairman Zafar Akbar to present himself before investigators at NIA’s New Delhi head office on May 11

A spokesperson of Hurriyat has said that Mirwaiz will appear for the investigation in Delhi along with Hurriyat executive members, Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat, Bilal Gani Lone and Masroor Ansari

The people whose security cover has been withdrawn include 22 separatist leaders. They have been considered 'undeserving' of state protection.

National Investigation Agency has issued a final warning to Hurriyat chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and has asked him to join the investigation to be held on April 18 in New Delhi

During searches in February, the NIA had said that it recovered incriminating documents and digital evidence. Letter heads of various terrorist organisations as well as recommendations for admission in Pakistan educational institutions were found

In the wake of the Pulwama attack, the Indian government has decided to withdraw the security cover and other facilities provided to Kashmiri separatist leaders Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Abdul Ghani Bhat, Bilal Lone, Hashim Qureshi and Shabir Shah.

Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's conversation with separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq received criticism. This attempt has been called a regressive step contrary to the overall perception which Pakistan leadership is trying to create.
