SRINAGAR, June 15:
National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said the arrest of a Kashmiri political activist over his remarks that he has more expectations from local officials rather than those from outside is the result of “unbridled” bureaucratic powers.
It’s unacceptable that a person should be jailed for expressing a “totally harmless” opinion, Abdullah said.
In a tweet, Abdullah said, “I haven’t come across a worse reason to detain a person & I was detained for encouraging people to vote so that’s saying something. It’s unacceptable that a person should be jailed for expressing a totally harmless opinion. This is what happens when bureaucratic power is unbridled.” (PTI)
