Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai today condemned the slapping of Public Safety Act (PSA) on Jamiat Ahle Hadith vice- president and religious scholar Maulana Mushtaq Ahmed Veeri and his shifting to a Jammu jail.
“Such tactics can’t weaken the sentiment of the Kashmiripeople. Arresting and slapping PSA on prominent religious scholars is attack onreligious sentiments of the people,” Sehrai said in a statement. He demanded immediate releaseof Moulana Mushtaq Veeri.
Sehrai also condemned the arrest and slapping of PSA onMuhammad Shabaan Dar and Aquib Gulzar and detention of advocate Mir Assad Ullahof Jammat-e-Islami (JeI).
“Jamaat-e-Islami is a socio-religious and welfare organisation and arresting its leadership and workers and imposing ban on it are unjustified,” the statement stated.
