Call on the release of former J-K CMs likely in the next few days

The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) administration will decide when to release former chief ministers Omar Abdullah, Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti and other detained political leaders over the next few days, officials in the security establishment said on condition of anonymity on Thursday.
Over the next few days, a decision will be taken on the release of senior political leaders and other prisoners,” one of the officials cited above said.

About 800 people, including top politicians, have been under detention since the Centre moved to revoke J&K’s special status and to split the state into two Union territories in August. Around 250 of them have been shifted out of Kashmir.

The officials said that former Peoples Democratic Party lawmaker Yawar Mir, National Conference’s Noor Mohammed, and Congress’s Shoaib Lone have been released this week after signing an undertaking that they would not breach the peace. They added that any violation of the undertaking will lead to prosecution.
