JAMMU, Mar 12: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) member Wahid Para today raised in the Assembly the issue of ban on two Jammu and Kashmir-based groups, seeking its revocation.
As the House assembled for the day, Para raised the issue. Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather instructed him to sit down as the Question Hour had begun.
Speaking to reporters outside the House, Para said, “This move chokes political and socio-religious space in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP has been attempting this for several years.”
Criticising the BJP, he said, “we urge the BJP Government to reconsider the ban on all organisations and provide them with an opportunity. Mirwaiz’s institution is a symbol of religious significance for all of us. We stand united with him. We want religious freedom.”
