AIP Slams Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah for “Legally Weak and Politically Convenient” Approach on Prisoners’ Issue

Srinagar, Nov 3 (KNS) : AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi has sharply criticised Mehbooba Mufti and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing both leaders of taking selective, confused and legally flawed positions on the issue of Kashmiri prisoners lodged in outside jails.

According to a press release issued ,While addressing gathering in Budgam office, Inam Un Nabi questioned Mehbooba Mufti’s political intent, asking: “Why does Mehbooba Mufti only demand shifting of prisoners but never demands their release? What stops her from raising the real humanitarian issue that families actually want addressed?”

Inam added that Mehbooba herself claims that shifting of prisoners falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, yet she approached the High Court instead of the Supreme Court. “This is legally inconsistent and politically misleading.

“Approaching the High Court ensured headlines, not results. This exposes the lack of seriousness,” Inam said.

Turning to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Inam Un Nabi said Omar used the emotional suffering of prisoners’ families for electoral gains but is now completely silent. “As the head of the J&K UT Government, Omar Abdullah has not initiated any formal communication with the Prime Minister or Home Minister nor used any legal mechanisms available to the UT administration to seek relief for the prisoners. Why this silence now?”

Inam further said “Neither Mehbooba nor Omar followed the correct legal forums. Neither initiated a political movement for the release of prisoners. This exposes a complete absence of intent and leadership,”(KNS)
