Farooq Rehmani condemns arrest of Altaf Khan (Press Release)

Islamabad:03 September 2011: The Chairman of  Jammu and Kashmir People's Freedom League  Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has strongly condemned arrest of the party's Chief  Organizer Muhammad Altaf Khan, expressing serious concern over his health as he was under medical treatment since his release last year from prison. Kashmir Police and Rashtriya Rifles of Indian army arrested him today early in Bandipora.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani demanded immediate release of the arrested leader saying that the police drive against his party men was aimed at crushing the organization. It was tantamount to claims of the regime regarding freedom of thought and association in Kashmir. He said the highhandedness of the regime was against conducive political atmosphere, so urgently needed for the peaceful conflict resolution process of the 60 year old Kashmir dispute.

The aged parents of Altaf Khan have also expressed serious concern over the arrest of their son demanding his immediate release from police custody.
