Javid Ahmad Mir on Tuesday formally quit the Hurriyat Conference-led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
Chief of his faction of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, the 56-year-old pro-freedom leader said that he resigned over differences between him and Mirwaiz that had started in September last year.
“A week ago, I sent a written communication to my representative across the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Kashmir. I have written that my faction of JKLF would no longer be part of Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat,” he said, quoted media reports.
