Srinagar, July 30, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the authorities disallowed the Chairman of Centre for Peace and Progress to hold a one-day seminar in Srinagar. The seminar- titled ‘The Way Out’ was scheduled to be held on Sunday (August 01) by ‘Centre for Peace and Progress’ Chairman, OP Shaw.

The track-II diplomat and renowned civil society member OP Shaw told media that he was informed by the authorities that he is not allowed to hold the one-day seminar at Nigeen Club in Srinagar. “I was staying in a hotel at Boulevard Srinagar where a team from the government arrived and informed me that I am not permitted to hold the seminar. I left Srinagar and is back to Delhi,” he said.
