SRINAGAR: – After spending over 12 years in jail, Mohammad Hussain Fazili, who was acquitted by the trial court in New Delhi on February 16, has joined Muslim Deeni Mahaz led by incarcerated Dr. Muhammad Qasim Faktoo.
The development came days after one of his jail mates, who was also acquitted with him, joined Geelani led Hurriyat.
