He was confronted by protesters who asked him to leave the spot. Amid pro freedom slogans, President APDP Parveena Ahangar accused Singh of maintaining criminal silence over the enforced disappearances of Kashmiri youth. “You are an Indian and you support India. You never talked about enforced disappearances in Kashmir. You are a lawyer, did you bother and dare to raise the issue in Supreme Court,” Anger shouted at him while Singh assured that he will take up the matter with the Supreme Court of India.
A few activists from a particular separatist group tried to manhandle two activists of Panthers Party, however, they were stopped by other pro-freedom activists. Singh left the spot in a hurry. (CNS)
