Srinagar, July 7 -- The newly formed political amalgam--People's Alliance for Change (PAC)--on Sunday claimed that the 80% security of its two prominent leaders-former minister Hakeem Yaseen and former deputy mayor of Srinagar and PC leader Sheikh Imran- has been withdrawn by the government. The security withdrawal comes at a time when some Pakistan based leaders associated with Jamaat-e-Islamia and a militant group issued threats to leaders of the new alliance. Even several Jamaat-e-Islami leaders had disassociated from this alliance especially the Justice Development Front (JDF) which has the backing of leaders of Jamaat. Peoples Conference chairman and legislator Handwara Sajjad Lone reacting on the withdrawal of security of two prominent leaders said that they are not begging for security but want to place truth before people on this security withdrawal. "All leaders of the new alliance met today and alliance is firm despite pressure and threats. The kind of reaction we are getting only confirms that we are on the right path," he said. Lone said that after the formation of new alliance statements of criticism had begun surfacing from various quarters, including across the border. "In the first such statement came from Ghulam Mohammad Safi, a veteran Hurriyat figure, and Naseebuddin, an affiliate of Jamaat-e-Islami-both based across the border. Similar responses followed from Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, a former senior leader of Jamaat-e-Islami in Jammu and Kashmir. I had personally met G M Bhat along with Sheikh Imran just a few days ago. I respect him deeply as a courageous man. But the public statement he made was contrary to what he told us in person," Lone said. The Handwara legislator said that even more concerning was a threat received from a militant outfit in Pakistan, suggesting that the formation of the alliance had unsettled several actors both within and outside Jammu and Kashmir. "This new alliance has unnerved people from both sides of LoC." Lone termed it as a "deliberate withdrawal" of security cover from senior politicians associated with the alliance....
