According to a senior police official, special TADA court has rejected the bail application of 10 activists of JKLF and Hurriyat including Mohammad Yaseen Bhat, Mohammad Rafiq Pahloo, Khurshid Ahmad Bhat, and Shams ud din Rehmani of Srinagar, Jahangeer Ahmad Bhat and Shabir Ahmad of Baramulla.

In a statement, the police said the meeting at the Srinagar hotel was an “attempt to start working for revival of dying secessionist organisations”.

“Investigations have also revealed that they were in touch with entities based abroad, few of them were members of many groups that propagate secessionism like Kashmir Global Council headed by Farooq Siddiqui and Raja Muzaffer of JKLF,” said a senior police official.
