Srinagar, Dec. 26 -- After Mirwaiz Umar Farooq took down the "Chairman" designation from his social media accounts, National Conference MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Friday appealed to the Government of India and concerned authorities, saying that if a respected leader like Mirwaiz claims he has been pressurised, the matter should be re-examined.

Speaking to ANI, Tanvir Sadiq said, "He is a religious scholar. He is widely respected not only in Jammu and Kashmir but also countrywide... He has said that he is being pressurised. We need to revisit that. I appeal to the government of India and to the concerned people that, if a respectable person like Mirwaiz says he has been pressurised, this should be re-examined..."

All Parties Hurriyat Conference...
