He has demanded the immediate release of all detainees including three former Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.
The provisional secretary said that one hand the authorities are claiming that everything is normal in Kashmir and other the leaders are continuous under detention despite passing more than four months.
Mir said it doesn’t suit to a democratic country to put its leaders under detection for such a long time, the leaders were preventively detained and they must be freed after normalcy.
He also said in absence of internet shutdown in the valley journalists, media houses, traders, businessman and students are suffering a lot in absence of the internet facility in the valley, Mir questions if the authorities are claiming that everything is normal in Kashmir then why is internet service shut,
