Srinagar, Sep 17: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and former minister, Naeem Akhtar was on Thursday released from house detention.
Akhtar remained under preventive detention since August 5 last year when the government abrogated Article 370 and bifurcated the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State into two Union Territories.
According to the news agency, Akhtar in a tweet said that he was informed today that he is free to move now.
“After 407 days of detention am informed that I am free to move about. Thank you rulers for small mercies while you inflict larger tragedies on our land,” Naeem tweeted.
