Hurriyat Truth Tapes. NIA begins investigation

After India Today's expose on Pakistan's role in choreographing anarchy in Kashmir Valley, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) summoned Hurriyat leaders, but they did not show up.

In the India Today sting operation, top Kashmiri separatists could be heard boasting about burning down schools and government institutions to spread unrest in the Valley.

Caught on camera were Hurriyat's provincial President (Geelani Faction) Naeem Khan, Tehreek-E-Hurriyat's leader Gazi Javed Baba and JKLF chairman Farooq Ahmed Dar (Bitta Karate).

Calling the sting by India Today a fabricated story, Naeem Khan said he is not accountable to the Indian media, only to Hurriyat leaders and the local media.

"My wife's version is being distorted and presented out of context, I demand the entire video be made public," Khan said.

On being asked about getting funds from Pakistan, Khan refused to answer the question but said that a movement needs money and people are supporting and funding it.
