Srinagar, Jan 02 : Days after five detained leaders were released; the Jammu and Kashmir administration is mulling to release more four to five leaders from the detention in next week.

According to the wire service—, official sources said that the administration would likely release four to five leaders from prolonged detention, which started on August 5, when the central government announced the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status (Article 370) and bifurcation of erstwhile State into two Union Territories—Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

They said that officials have sent a proposal for the release of five more detained leaders to the higher ups a few days back. “Possibly, more leaders would be released from the continuous detention in next week,” official sources said.

Official sources also informed that National Conference (NC) General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar and his son Salman Sagar who were also under detention were allowed to attend the funeral prayers of Sagar’s father-in-law. “They were allowed to attend funeral prayers for two hours following which they were put under detention again,” they said.

Earlier on Monday, the administration ordered release of five more politicians including Zahoor Mir, former PDP MLA from Pampore, Dr Ghulam Nabi, NC leader from Tral, Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar, former NC MLA from Ganderbal, Yasir Reshi former MLC and Bashir Mir PDP leader from Kangan.

Pertinently, three leaders including Yawar Mir, Noor Muhammad and Shoiab Lone were released on various grounds which includes signing of a bond. Before them, two other leaders that include Muhammad Syed Akhoon and Imran Ansari were released on health grounds.

Meanwhile, officials said that the decision vis-à-vis releasing five more leaders will be taken in this week and they will probably come out from the five month long detention in next week.

A top police official revealed that the release of other detained politicians was subject to “security review.” (KNO)
