Srinagar, May 12 (KNS): Hurriyat Conference (G) on Saturday strongly condemned the arrest and detention of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Mohammad Rafiq Owaisi and Jamat-e-Islami leader Bashir Ahmad Lone and slapping Public Safety Act and shifting them to Kot Bhalwal.
Slamming PDP led regime, Hurriyat (G) in a statement issued to KNS said that slapping PSAs on pro-freedom leaders and activists have always been a tool of the rulers to try and force the people and leadership into submission.
Terming it as ‘a political vendetta and the sheer frustration on part of the ruling regime’, Hurriyat (G) said that arresting and slapping PSAs on resistance leaders and shifting them to outside state jails is a highly undemocratic act and deserves all forms of condemnation.
Strongly condemning the invoking “lawless-law”, Public Safety Act (PSA) against Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leaders, PDP led government had started a new campaign of arrests and PSA against the resistance leaders, Hurriyat said.
Hurriyat while decrying the continuous detention of Ameer Hamza Shah said that “the PSA slapped on Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader was termed null and void by the state judiciary and it issued his release orders but authorities created hurdles and he was again slapped with another PSA.
Hurriyat Conference said that its party leader Mohammad Yusuf Falahi has been kept with criminals, saying it is sheer violation of prisoner’s right.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
