Former interior minister and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said on Tuesday that he had already predicted May 1 to June 20 would be important for the government.
Speaking to media persons before attending the anti-terrorism court, former interior minister Sheikh Rashid said Kashmiris were shocked over what happened in Kashmir. “We were fighting the case of people living in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) but now we are fighting our own case (in Azad Kashmir). He said people who were arrested yesterday (Monday) from Rawalpindi should be released.
“It is very unfair that Kashmiris were arrested from their homes,” the AML head said. He said the brave men of police were getting thrashing from transgender persons. “When I went abroad, everyone was talking about these transgender persons. They (policemen) had entered our houses and took away money, jewelry and children. The senior politician said, “We are observing silence and restraint till June 30, during this period we will give them the right advice.
We advise them to release the Kashmiris. India is taking advantage of the situation.” The former federal minister said the government should take immediate notice of the illegal measures taken by some people. “If I am summoned in the 190 million pound reference, I will definitely attend the inquiry,” he said.—INP
