Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM), which is affiliated to the All Party Hurriyat Conference, was injured on Sunday after he was allegedly attacked by Shiv Sena activists. Around 25 to 30 Sena activists stormed into a press conference organised by Zaffar Iqbal in the Jammu Press Club at around 2.00 pm, police said.
The activists disrupted the event and physically manhandled the JKSM chief, who later fell unconscious, officials said. The activists refrained from attacking Iqbal’s associates Tahir Parvez Bhat and Javed Ahmed Wani, who were accompanying him.
Iqbal was later taken to the Jammu Medical College Hospital.
