On Saturday, the ninth day of unrest in the valley following the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani, the otherwise busy markets and roads in the Dal Lake area were devoid of people.
The angry reaction from the Director (School Education) came after some TV channels, during their primetime shows on the ongoing Kashmir unrest, aired Faesal's pictures alongside Wani's bullet-ridden body.
They said emissaries were sent to Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq - chairmen of the respective hardline and moderate factions of the divided separatist conglomerate Hurriyat Conference.
Two protesters were shot dead and at least a dozen of them injured in firing by security forces as more violence and arson were reported from across the valley reeling under a blanket curfew for the seventh day.
Claiming his statements were doctored and tampered out of context, controversial televangelist Zakir Naik on Friday said he unequivocally condemned all terrorist activities.
The tribunal has admitted the plea, Thakur's lawyer Sudhanshu Pandey told the media.
