Srinagar, Aug 04 (KB): Jammu and Kashmir Peoples conference chairman Sajad Gani Lone on thursday demands immediate release of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
In a series of tweets Sajad Lone as per Kashmir Bulletin –; KB Wrote on its official twitter handle that, Spare a thought for Mirwaiz Kashmir. He is under continued detention for the last four years. And none of us has talked about him. My apologies.
We may differ politically but he inspires us as a religious head. A religious head who spearheaded the forces of moderation.
Mirwaiz Kashmir has stuck to utterances which are moderate and represent the true essence of Islam. He has religious duties. His continued incarceration is a crime against him and against all those whom he inspires at a religious level, he said.
Humble appeal to Amit Shah sahib and Manoj sinha sahib to please ensure that he is released as soon as possible. He has himself been a victim of violence.
Let it be known. There are many wars in Kashmir. And in our real war he is an unapologetic moderate, he added in a tweet. (Kashmir Bulletin — KB)
