Srinagar: Ailing chairman of Jammu Kashmir liberation front Muhammad Yasin Malik has condemned the prolonged detention of veteran educationist and social leader professor SAR Geelani and other students of JNU who have been arrested and charged with sedition in Delhi.
Yasin Malik said that today Indian ex-ministers and parliamentarians are raising questions about the trial that was given to martyr Afzal Guru and are saying that his case was not correctly decided but when Kashmiris and some others whose conscience is alive raise same questions they are being slapped with sedition charges and put behind bars and a vicious media trail is also launched against them.
