8 parties write to President over Mufti’s release

Leaders of eight Opposition parties on Monday flayed the Union Government over the detention of political opponents and human rights activists, including former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, at a time when the country was dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind, Opposition leaders, including Sitaram Yechury of the CPM, sought immediate release of those detained.

“Many countries are seeking to release prisoners to prevent Covid spread,” they said, adding that the continued detention of Mehbooba Mufti and many others was condemnable. — TNS
