Naeem Akhtar free from house detention

Srinagar, Sep 17 :  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and former minister, Naeem Akhtar was on Thursday released from house detention.

Akhtar remained under preventive detention since August 5 last year when the government abrogated Article 370 and bifurcated the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State into two Union Territories.

Akhtar in a tweet said that he was informed today that he is free to move now.

“After 407 days of detention am informed that I am free to move about. Thank you rulers for small mercies while you inflict larger tragedies on our land,” Naeem tweeted.
