| Omar, Mehbooba hit out at centre for booking NC leader under UAPA | | |  Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 16: Former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday lashed out at the centre for booking National Conference (NC) leader Hilal Lone under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged 'hate speech' at a rally during District Development Council (DDC) elections in Kashmir.
The BJP has a completely different standard when it comes to hate speech from its leaders, National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah alleged on Tuesday.
Abdullah"s remark came after his party colleague Hilal Lone was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly delivering a "hate speech" at a rally during last year"s district development council elections in Jammu and Kashmir"s Bandipora.
"The BJP has a completely different standard when it comes to hate speech from its own leaders. They can call for hands to be cut off, people to be murdered and it"s fine. Hilal Lone makes a speech and anti-terror laws are used to book him," Abdullah tweeted.
Referring to Lone"s arrest, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said there would not be enough room in the prisons of the country if the BJP"s ministers, lawmakers and members of its "IT Cell" were brought to book for inciting communal passions against minorities.
"GOI (Government of India) continues to shamelessly book Kashmiri mainstream leaders under UAPA for "hate speech". The truth is that there won"t be enough room in Indian prisons if their own ministers, lawmakers and noxious IT Cell were brought to book for inciting communal passions against minorities," she said in a tweet. |
