All mainstream parties in J&K must fight Centre’s ‘tyranny’: Chidambaram

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has welcomed the release of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti and called on all mainstream political parties in the state to come together to fight what he said was the “tyranny” of the Centre.

“Happy that Ms Mehbooba Mufti has been finally released after 14 months of unjustified detention. Sad that the Central Government and the J&K administration have not yet realized the enormity of the abuse of law,” Chidambaram said.

“All mainstream parties in J&K should come together to fight the tyranny of the central government,” the former home minister said in a series of tweets late Tuesday night. (AGENCIES)
