ET Report
Srinagar: Even as the government recently allowed a detained leader of the Peoples Democratic Party to visit his home for a day in Srinagar, his party colleague and inmate, who is also lodged at the same sub-jail was denied permission to meet his bereaved family.
Sources said very recently the government allowed a senior PDP leader who was previously a lawmaker to visit his home to spend some time with his family.
Sources said the leader spend almost a day with his family till he came back to the MLA Hostel prison which has been converted into a Sub Jail where some of the politicians are detained since the abrogation of the Article 370 in August.
Subsequently, however, the colleague of the detained leader, who also hails from the same PDP requested the government to let him go home to attend the last rites of his father in law who recently passed away.
Sources said the concerned couldn’t get clearance for his release despite appeals from the detained leader and his family.
The issue has left many a politician guessing as to what must have been the reason to “use two yardsticks” of dealing with two cases for inmates from the same party.
“If one leader from the same party is allowed to go home but the other one from the same party is subsequently disallowed, it means something is cooking up- Kya Packk Raha Hai?” asked a senior politician on the condition of anonymity.
It is pertinent to mention that over two dozen senior politicians from regional parties including National Conference, the PDP and the Peoples Conference are detained at the MLA Hostel Sub Jail.
Three of the former Chief Ministers including Dr Farooq Abdullah, his son Omar Abdullah, and Mehbooba Mufti are detained separately at separate sub jails.
