Srinagar: APHC chairman Syed Ali Geelani condemned the shifting of Hurriyat leader Masarat Alam Bhat to Tihar jail by Indian Investigating Agency NIA on Tuesday.
Syed Ali Geelani in a statement said that Masrat Alam is behind bars continuously for the last 9 years, during which judicial houses itself have quashed his detention 37 times, “but rulers under the intoxication of the arrogance of their power and might have disobeyed the court orders.”
Hurriyat chairman said that those raising their voice for their fundamental rights peacefully within the contours of the law are made to rot in jails and interrogation centres for decades, but those accused by the investigation agencies for conspiring the murder of a particular minority, are proudly garlanded and voted to assembly and parliament.
Geelani also lauded the important role played by the incarcerated leadership and youth in the far away jails of India as well as those detained in the hell like prisons of the state, including Mohammad Yasin Malik, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Masarat Aalam Bhat, Dr G. M. Bhat and others.
