SRINAGAR: Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yaseen Malik was taken into preventive custody alongwith about a dozen front leaders to foil a march against Kishtwar incident in the civil lines.
The JKLF has announced to take out a procession against Kishtwar incident from its party headquarters at Maisuma to Lal Chowk, the nerve centre of the summer capital today.
