New Delhi, Sep 17 (UNI) Attacking the Narendra Modi Government for arrest of National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah under the Public Safety Act, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that the government was creating political space for terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a series of tweets, Rahul demanded that the government release all nationalist leaders as soon as possible.
‘’It’s obvious that the Government is trying to remove nationalist leaders like Farooq Abdullah Ji to create a political vacuum in Jammu & Kashmir that will be filled by terrorists. Kashmir can then permanently be used as a political instrument to polarise the rest of India.
The Government should stop creating space for terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir and release all nationalist leaders ASAP,’’ Rahul tweeted.
The tweet by Rahul comes a day after the Central Government said that Farooq Abdullah, who has been under house arrest since August 7 in Srinagar, has been arrested under the Public Safety Act.
Besides Farooq Abdullah, other political leaders including Farooq’s son Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti of the PDP have also been under House arrest since August 7.
