CAMBRIDGE : 120 members of student, faculty and alumni of the prestigious Harvard University have written a letter to the Government of India, asking to release their old colleague and former civil servant-turned-politician Shah Faesal and other Kashmiri politicians.
According to details, the letter also showed concern about the current situation in the occupied Kashmir and advised the government to find a democratic and a peaceful way to ensure stability in the region.
Faesal, who was on his way to Istanbul from New Delhi, was stopped at Indira Gandhi International Airport on August 14 and was sent back to Srinagar where he was detained under the Public Safety Act.
Shah Faesal was raising voice against the recent lockdown in IOK, following the repealing of Article 370 and 35A from the Constitution which give special status to the valley. (INP)
