Withdrawal of security to political leaders, activists unjustified: CPI(M)
Srinagar, Feb 18: CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Friday said that the decision of the government to downgrade and withdraw security of political leaders, activists of different parties is arbitrary and has no justification. The decision could endanger the lives of these leaders and activists, he said.
“Political process in the region is itself a difficult task. The activists cutting across the political lines are doing their bit to strengthen the political process. Hindrance should not be put on them, rather they should be encouraged,” Tarigami said in a statement here.
“However, unfortunately, security-cover of activists cutting across political spectrum has been either downgraded or withdrawn. The security should be provided irrespective of political affiliations,” he said while urging the administration to review the decision.
