Curfew-like situation in Valley. (TOI: Bilal Bahadur)

NEW DELHI: At least 220 wards of 112 separatists and their sympathisers in the Valley, including Hurriyat leaders, are settled abroad. This fact that is violently at odds with the separatist ballad of sacrifice and suffering has always been known to the Valley elite. It now seems set to be publicised on a mass scale as part of a plan drawn up under Union home minister Amit Shah to expose separatists.The stage for the campaign was set last week by Shah who, while seeking extension of President’s Rule in J&K, volunteered to share with Parliament details of 130 Hurriyat leaders who had sent their children abroad for higher education — in sharp contrast with their incitement to schoolchildren to engage in stone pelting and force closure of schools.MHA sources said Tahreek-e-Hurriyat chairman Ashraf Sehrai’s two sons, Khalid and Abid Ahraf, work in Saudi Arabia and are settled there. Son of Jamaat-e-Islami president Ghulam Muhammad Bhat is a doctor in Saudi Arabia.Dukhtaran-e-Millat’s Asiya Andrabi’s two sons are studying abroad — Muhammad bin Qasim in Malaysia and Ahmed bin Qasim in Australia .Neelam Gilani, son of Syed Ali Shah Geelani , recently completed his MBBS course in Pakistan. Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Omar Farooq’s sister Rabia Farooq is a doctor and settled in the US. Bilal Lone’s daughter and son-in-law are settled in London while his younger daughter is studying in Australia. Daughters of Muslim League leaders Mohammad Yusuf Mir and Farooq Gatpuri are medical students in Pakistan. Democratic Political Movement leader Khwaja Fardaus Wani’s daughter is also in Pakistan studying medicine.Wahidat-e-Islami leader Nisar Hussain Rather’s daughter works in Iran and settled there with her husband.
