However, as per the reports, no decision vis-a-vis the release of the incarcerated politicians has been taken till date with inputs suggesting that the union home ministry is actively considering the proposal to set free second level of leadership and allow them to carry out political activities in a limited manner and if the situation remains conducive, further coarse of action shall accordingly be decided.
Post August 5, this year when Jammu and Kashmir's special status was scarped, the government besides imposing gag on communication services also detained hundreds of political leaders and their supporters.
