Strike in Kashmir over separatist's killing SRINAGAR, India, Tuesday (Reuters) Shops and businesses shut down in Indian Kashmir's main city on Tuesday to protest the killing of a relative of the territory's chief Muslim priest, who has been holding talks with New Delhi, police and witnesses said. Moulvi Mushtaq Ahmad, an uncle of Moulvi Umar Farooq, a top leader of Kashmir's main separatist alliance All Party Hurriyat Conference, was wounded in an attack by suspected rebels on May 29. Mushtaq, who was a senior leader of a constituent group of the Hurriyat, died in hospital on Monday night. But Hurriyat chief Moulana Abbas Ansari, who started talks with top Indian government leaders in January for the first time since an uprising against New Delhi's rule broke out in 1989, was undeterred. "For the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, talks will continue, nothing will stop it," Ansari said. |
