J&K: Shah Faesal finally released from detention
- The Jammu and Kashmir administration finally released Shah Faesal after a nearly nine month long detention.
- Two senior PDP leaders – Sartaj Madni, the uncle of former Chief Mininster Mehbooba Mufti and Peer Mansoor Hussain – have also been freed.
- Faesal's sudden release could be seen as the revive of political process in Jammu & Kashmir.
- The political activities in the Valley stand frozen since last August after the Central Government read down the special provisions of Jammu & Kashmir and divide it into two Union Territories.
- Like hundreds of political leaders, including three former chief ministers, Faesal was taken into the preventive custody and later booked under Public Safety Act (PSA).
