South Asia: No Kashmir Border Violation, Leaders Released
</hdr>

<p>[Delhi All India Radio Network in English 1530 GMT 30 Mar 92]
</p>
<p> [Text] The Jammu and Kashmir Government has revoked the
detention orders of five prominent political leaders of the
state with immediate effect. These leaders are: Syed Ali Shah
Gilani, ex-MLA [member of the Legislative Assembly]; Mr. Abdul
Ghani Lone, ex-MLA; Maulvi Abbas Ansari; Professor Abdul Ghani;
and Qazi Nisar Ahmed.
</p>
<p> The All India Radio Jammu correspondent says that while no
reasons have been officially given for revoking the detention of
these leaders, the development is being viewed by observers as a
step toward restoring the political process in the state.
</p>
<p> Meanwhile, there is no report so far today of any violation
of the Line of Control by the self-styled JKLF [Jammu and
Kashmir Liberation Front] activists. An official spokesman in
Jammu said no activity could be seen even on the Pakistan-
occupied Kashmir side of the Line of Control. The security
forces are maintaining a strict vigil. In the Kashmir Valley
also, there was no incident. Reports from Muzaffarabad, the
capital of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, say about 500 JKLF
activists were arrested by the security forces today.
</p>
<p> [Hong Kong AFP in English at 1424 GMT on 30 March reports the
following: "Five Kashmiri militants made it across the border
into Indian-held Kashmir Monday afternoon, while police arrested
march leader Raja Muzaffar, militant sources said. The symbolic
crossing and subsequent arrest of Muzaffar, acting chairman of
the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), apparently ends
its adventure at the volatile border between the hostile
neighbours India and Pakistan, observers said."]
