Srinagar, Mar 11 (KNS): Senior Congress leader Prof. Saifuddin Soz today said 
a very large section of people in Jammu and Kashmir have felt sad and angry on the Central Govt.’s attempt to persecute Mehbooba Mufti and her colleagues, citing the latest notice of the Enforcement Directorate.

"Since the last resort for the people is the Judiciary, the judicial system in India has itself come under pressure for provision of judicial relief to those who summon-up their courage to criticize the Govt," he said.

"It is not for nothing that the Freedom in the World 2020 report ranks India at the 83rd Position, which is nearly the lowest, bracketing India with countries like Senegal in Africa," he added in a statement issued to KNS.

The former Governor of Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, in his recent interview to the NDTV found that certain social and political policies of the Central Govt. have even caused a downfall of the growth in Indian Economy to as low as 4%, which is one of lowest in the world, statement reads.

"A large section of Kashmiris felt sad and concerned against the measures of persecution let loose by the Central Govt. against the Mainstream Kashmir, particularly, the PDP President Mehbooba Mufti and her party colleagues like Naeem Akhter,.” he said.(KNS)
