| Mehbooba seeks TN C M’s intervention in release of Kashmiri businessmen | | | Early Times Reporter Jammu | Mar 19 Expressing dismay and anguish over the detention and harassment of Kashmiri businessmen by the Police in Chennai Tamil Nadu, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President, Mehbooba Mufti in a letter to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has sought his intervention to get all the arrested Kashmiri businessmen, released immediately. In her communication Mufti has said a reign of terror was let lose by the Tamil Nadu police against the Kashmiri shopkeepers after an altercation between a shopkeeper and a local tea vendor in the Spencer Plaza area. She said after the incident some local assailants armed with sharp edged weapons attacked the Kashmiri shopkeepers. Instead of taking action against the local assailants, the Chennai police surprisingly took on the Kashmiri shopkeepers labeling them as militants and arrested several of them, she alleged. Mufti said of late, it has become a trend with the police in several states, to dub the Kashmiri businessmen and students as militants and tarnish their image. She said such unfortunate trend must be stopped forthwith and no Kashmiri businessman or student should be put to any unnecessary trouble outside the state. |
