Srinagar: The decision of Jammu and Kashmir administration to revoke the Public Safety Act (PSA) of National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah, is a step to correct one wrong among many wrongs.
A statement issues to KNS reads, though late, the decision to revoke the PSA of Dr Farooq Abdullah is welcome. The Government must also release political, leaders, activists and civil society members, who were detained arbitrarily, after August 5, 2019. The politicians were placed under detention because of political vendetta by the BJP government at the Center.
Some of the detainees were shifted to outside J&K jails and they are still languishing there. The cases of all the detainees in Kashmir must be reviewed. The curbs on democratic activities which have been going on till August 5 last year, need to be lifted immediately, the statement said
To restore the political activities, the government must create conducive atmosphere and release of detainees is a must. There is no political activity in J&K right now, so democracy remains suspended. The curbs on assembly of people and other activities need to be lifted immediately. Some curbs on internet, which are still in place need to be lifted immediately. (KNS).
