“You give less space to news related to the sufferings of the conflict, while Anti Freedom news is given front page space,” Riyaz naikoo is heard saying in his nearly 12 minute fresh audio.

He accuses sections of media of running an Anti Militancy campaign, “Our houses are ransacked, our families thrashed, that does not make news for you unfortunately and if it does, it is a small news, somewhere in some corner, while if any activity sounds negative against the Militants, it gets the front page space,” Naikoo is heard saying in this fresh audio.

He also accuses “most” of the media men to be corrupt.

Riyaz Naikoo who is the chief commander of Militant outfit, Hizb ul Mujahideen has also warned the people who are planning to contest the Panchayat elections, “We have brought hydrochloric and sulfuric acid for people who are planning to contest election,” Riyaz is heard saying in this fresh audio which has gone viral on Social networking sites including Facebook and Whatsapp.

In a similar tone like Zakir Musa, Naikoo has appealed the shoppers to remove the CCTVs covering the roads. “We do not want the activities of Militants or our OGWs to be recorded in the cameras, which the Police later forcibly takes,” Riyaz Naikoo is heard saying.
