CPI (M) leader and MLA Kulgam Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami on Wednesday came down heavily on the Jammu and Kashmir government for booking separatist leader Masrat Alam under the Public Safety Act.
Speaking on motion of thanks for Governor address, Tarigami said Alam was given a degree of slaps.
“Masarat Alam ne bahut badi degree haasil ki hai PSA ki (Masarat has earned a degree in PSAs) and I am surprised that every day you release him and book him under another PSA,” he said.
He castigated the government for putting resistance leaders under house detention.
“How long will you keep them (Geelani, Mirwaiz and Yasin Malik) under detention,” he asked.
He said the government didn’t learn lesson from former president of J&K Ghulam Muhammad Sadiq who said prolonged detention will have adverse consequences for the state.
