Kashmiri separatists exploiting young boys for election boycott

The Kashmiri separatists have put young boys in the forefront to distribute posters threatening people against participating in the bypolls for the Srinagar and Anantnag Lok Sabha seats. The two constituencies will go to polls on April 9 and 12 respectively.

The separatists have given a call for boycott of the byelection for the two seats.

Young boys were on Wednesday seen distributing the posters in Bemina, Tangpora bypass and Nowgam.

A spokesman of the Hurriyat said their activists were circulating anti-election material asking people to stay away from polling.

It is worth mentioning that the separatists were accused of inciting the youth during the recent nearly six-month-long violent agitation in Kashmir that claimed life of 80 people and left more than 7000 others injured.

In the previous elections too such call for boycott of polling was given by the separatists but it hardly made an impact and the percentage of polling had been increasing in every successive election.
