The National Investigative Agency (NIA) of India, arrested Zahoor Watali, a prominent Srinagar based businessman. According to Times of India, Watali was arrested in Srinagar yesterday.

Is this the tip of the iceberg? Are there more Watalis that are going to come out of the woods?

The NIA first questioned Watali on June 4, 2017, and obtained several documents related to the source of funding from foreign sources and its distribution to separatists and terrorists for anti-India activities.

  1. Break the backbone of these traitors. How can a Kashmiri buy land in other states, when they do not allow / permit other state citizens to buy in J & K ? Confiscate & hand over the land to government of that state for auction.
