JAMMU, July 17: Chief patron of National Panthers Party and Member of National Integration Council, Prof Bhim Singh has urged Governor for his urgent intervention for unconditional release of all political and PSA prisoners languishing in different jails of the State on the eve of Eid as a token of goodwill message to hundreds of families of the prisoners.
Singh said that there are several youngsters, students or juveniles who were imprisoned and continue to be in jails in J&K under minor offences, some of them relating to so-called stone-pelting incidents in 2010. The continued detention under PSA or otherwise of the youth and students in J&K is highly undesirable and violation of the human rights of the people.
He pleaded for the release of all prisoners in J&K who are not involved in heinous crimes like murder, so that they may start their career again.
In the rejoinder to the Chief Minister, he said that if these prisoners detained under PSA or otherwise are not released before Eid or on the Eid day, he would knock the doors of the Supreme Court of India to ensure them delivery of justice.
