SRINAGAR: In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has urged people to totally boycott tomorrow’s Indian Parliamentary polls last stage.

The Hurriyet leader addressing a public gathering here said he hoped that Kashmiris would boycott the so-called elections. He said India wanted to divert the attention of the international community from the Kashmir dispute.

Kashmiris boycotted the previous three phases of Indian polls that resulted in low turnout.
