Jammu and Kashmir govt must review decision of releasing Masarat, says cleric Mahali

Muslim cleric Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahali on Monday said that the PDP-BJP Government in Jammu and Kashmir headed by Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed should review its decision of releasing hardline separatist leader Masrat Alam. "J&K Government must review its decision," Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahali said.

"Anyone who has done wrong needs to go through a trial, this is against India's interest" he added.

Alam had been convicted for organizing anti-India protests resulting in the death of 112 people in stone pelting across the Valley in 2010.

Masarat's release has drawn a lot of criticism from several political parties.
