NEW DELHI, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Four Kashmiri separatist groups have said the ongoing unity moves in the Hurriyat Conference were initiated by an intelligence agency.

In a statement, Yusuf-ul Noor, joint spokesman of Alnasreen, Farzandan-e-Milat, Al Isteqlal and Save Kashmir Movement, said the moves are aimed at sidelining Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman of the Hurriyat Conference.

"We have evidence that the ongoing moves in Hurriyat (independence) are being carried out at the behest of Research and Analysis Wing to sideline Syed Ali Shah Geelani," he said.

On behalf of four separatist outfits, Yusuf alleged India's RAW was strengthening Hurriyat so the umbrella group of separatist organizations can take part in the upcoming state elections.
