Release political prisoners as goodwill gesture on R-Day, demand Ex J&K Ministers

Jammu, Jan 23 (UNI) Asserting that there is a tradition of releasing some prisoners lodged in jails on Republic Day, former Ministers Dilawar Mir and Ghulam Hassan Mir on Thursday demanded release of political prisoners as goodwill gesture.
"We want that exercise of releasing political prisoners including three former chief ministers should be initiated especially as "Goodwill gesture" on Republic Day," Ghulam Hassan Mir flanked by Mr Dilawar Mir here told reporters at a press conference.
The former Minister further said, "since August 5, many political leaders including three former chief ministers were detained and put under house arrest but as Republic Day is nearing, there is a tradition that some people lodged in jails are released," adding, "let nobody remain under detention as "goodwill gesture" on this Republic Day."
