NC asks Shah to Withdraw Cases against Youth
Kashmir Observer
|MARCH 10, 2026 ISSUE
National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Monday appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to consider withdrawing cases against youth detained and booked during protests over the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Abdullah said that while maintaining law and order is important, it is equally necessary to understand the sentiments that led to the demonstrations.
Abdullah, in a statement, appealed to Shah and security agencies to review the cases sympathetically and consider withdrawing the FIRs and releasing those detained, particularly students, in the larger interest of their future and social harmony.
