“Religious leaders now released & felicitated by BJP after being slapped with PSA were earlier accused of being a security threat by the ruling party. While they engage in dirty political games, wonder what it will take to free other preachers accused of the same crime? Ishfaq Bukhari, Abdul Majid Dar, Manzoor Misbahi & Fayaz Shah continue to languish in jail,” Mehbooba Mufti wrote on X while sharing picture of senior BJP leader and chairperson Waqf Board Darakhshan Andrabi visiting the house of prominent religious scholar who was released recently. Andrabi also presented shawl to the religious scholar.
