Commotion at India-Pak peace conference

New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI) Commotion broke out Monday at a
conference aimed at promoting peace between India and Pakistan
when a section of the audience objected to the presence of
JKLF leader Yasin Malik as a speaker.
As soon as Malik rose to address the meet here, some
Kashmiri pandits stood up, saying he should not be allowed to
speak and hurled abuses at him.
When the delegates refused to yield, the police
intervened and drove them out of the venue.
On asked why the delegates were whisked away, one of the
organisers A Chinoy said, "This is an open forum and people
have every right to speak but they should behave properly."
The three-day annual conference- A Road Map Towards
Peace- was inaugurated Sunday.
Several intellectuals, dignitaries and leaders from both
India and Pakistan are attending the meet. PTI
