Srinagar, May 21: People’s Conference president Sajad Gani Lone has put under house arrest on the 24th death anniversary of his father, the party claimed on Thursday.
Abdul Gani Lone was shot dead by terrorists on May 21, 2002, as he left a Hurriyat Conference rally held to pay tributes to Mirwaiz Moulvi Mohammad Farooq, who too was gunned down by militants on the same day 12 years earlier.
“The Jammu & Kashmir People’s Conference strongly condemns the house arrest of its President and MLA Handwara, Sajad Gani Lone, on the death anniversary of Shaheed Abdul Gani Lone,” the party said in a statement.
It called the house arrest of the party president and Handwara MLA, undemocratic.
“Such actions hurt public sentiments and weaken democratic values,” the party said.
