Hizb warns people against voting
The Hizbul Mujahideen is warning voters of severe consequences if they take part in the forthcoming national elections, media reports said on Monday.
| "This ain't no damned democracy! Youse keep yer asses home!" |
Hizbul Mujahideen has launched a poster campaign saying that "those found participating (in the polls) will be dealt with severely," the Urdu newspaper Uqaab reported. Posters have been put up in Hizb's strongholds of southern Anantnag and Pulwama and Kupwara in the north, the Al Safa Urdu newspaper reported. "We've received information about these posters. It's routine during elections," a police officer said in Srinagar.
| "Yeah. They always slaughter people when we have elections. I think it's a cultural thing." |
