If Rajiv’s killers released why not Aalam, Fakhtoo; India asked

Srinagar, September 12, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the member of so-called Kashmir Assembly, Engineer Abdur Rasheed has demanded unconditional release of all Kashmiri political prisoners including Masarrat Aalam Butt and Dr Muhammad Qasim Fakhtoo languishing in different jails since decades.

Engineer Abdur Rasheed in a media interview in Srinagar said, “Decision to release killers of Rajiv Gandhi has exposed the double standards of the Indian state. We have a right to know that why cannot be people like Qasim Fakhtoo and Masarrat Aalam Butt be released who are not criminals and killers but political prisoners and are seeking just resolution of Kashmir dispute.”

Remembering the unjust execution of prominent Kashmiri martyred leaders Muhammad Maqbool Butt and Muhammad Afzal Guru, he said, “It is strange to see that New Delhi is always in a hurry to hang Kashmiris and does not return even their bodies.”
