Shabbir Shah continues to remain under house arrest

Srinagar, July 01 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, senior APHC leader and the President of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), Shabbir Ahmad Shah continued to remain under house arrest for the third consecutive day, today, in Srinagar.

A spokesman of DFP in a statement said the frequent house arrests and detention of Shabbir Shah reflected as to how much the authorities were afraid of his popularity. He stated that Shabbir Shah was jailed for three years since 2008. “Even after his release on November 5, 2010, he was placed under house arrest for 60 days and was not allowed to offer Juma prayers for 24 Friday,” the spokesman said.

Meanwhile, Shabbir Ahmad Shah in a statement described as unrealistic the statement of Indian Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh in which he had asked Pakistan to give up the Kashmir issue. He also appealed the international community to intervene into the case of illegally detained ailing Chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Aasiya Andrabi and help in her transfer to Kashmir prison.
