The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today batted for withdrawal of security of separatist leaders of Kashmir.
“We appeal to the government to withdraw security of CRPF and other local forces from the separatist leaders who boycotted Anantnag election where Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti got victory,” BJP senior leader and MLC Ramesh Arora said. He was addressing a press conference here.
Joining the BJP chorus of hitting out at the Congress on the 41st anniversary of the imposition of internal Emergency by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Arora said: “Indira Gandhi misused her official position and imposed Emergency in 1975 in the country. This day civil liberties and fundamental rights were snatched from people.”
The BJP leader said during that period, the Maintenance of Internal Security Act was misused and a number of persons arrested.
