Srinagar: Tehreek-e-Hurriyat chairperson Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai on Wednesday said that former Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister and National Conference founder was a Jackal and not a Lion.

Sherai was addressing mourners at slain Hurriyat leader Mir Hafizullah’s residence.
“What has he ever done to be called a lion,” Sehrai asked and added that it was Sheikh’s mistakes that the people of Kashmir are bearing the brunt for.

Sherai said that Sheikh’s first mistake in 47 could be forgiven and it can be assumed that he was betrayed the first time. “He then repeatedly betrayed the people of Kashmir, knowing well whatever he was up to. Accord of 1975 being one such example,” Sherai said that “we as people are to blamed as well.”

“It was the poeple who used to say alle kari wangan kari babb kari lo lo,” he said.
