Not Consulted, Don't Approve Decision to Release Hurriyat Hardliner Masarat Alam, Says BJP | Read
The BJP was neither consulted and nor had consented to the release of hardline separatist leader Masarat Alam by the government, the party said today. The party has registered a protest with Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on the issue. Alam - accused of fanning trouble in 2010 in which over 100 people died in Kashmir -- was released from jail on Saturday by the week-old People's Democratic Party-led government. Left red-faced by the decision, the lawmakers of coalition partner had been holding protests in Jammu.
