| PDP likely to ensure release of "stone throwers" before Eid | | ** NC had kept hundreds of youth in jails during Eid days: Mir | | Javaid Naikoo
Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 16: Lashing out at NC for criticising PDP leaders in using their influence to detain youth here, the latter today said that it was during NC regime that youth had to spend Eid days in jails but their party was working for the release of detained youth before Eid.
After NC alleged that youth were selectively detained from down town areas of Srinagar at the behest of PDP leaders of Srinagar district, senior PDP leader and minister of state for urban development, Mohammad Ashraf Mir said that NC leaders must not forget that not only in Srinagar but in other parts of Kashmir also, hundreds of youth during NC regime had to spend Eid days in police lock ups.
"None among Srinagar leaders of PDP are interested to keep youth in lock ups and that too on Eid. We all are working to make sure that whosoever was detained recently by police shall be released before Eid," he said.
Mir said that NC leaders must not forget that their regime had proved to be tyrant for people in general and youth in particular.
According to locals, police had in the past two weeks picked up many youth for their alleged involvement in the incidents of stone throwing.
Earlier NC in a statement alleged that "nearly five dozen youth had been arrested in nocturnal raids in the past few days in Srinagar while hundreds were being selectively hounded and harassed and there is also a perception that these youth are being rounded up for extortion and intimidation at the behest of some PDP leaders from Srinagar who want to persecute and harass the youth of Shehar-e-Khaas for their loss in the assembly elections."
NC also alleged that "these arrests are pre-planned and have a clear political motive of retribution".
