They lamented that Hurriyat leaders, media men, rights activists and even ordinary people were being implicated in fake cases.
The political experts and analysts pointed out that the arbitrary arrests were aimed at terrorizing the peace and freedom-loving people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. They said arrests and raids are manifest of the Bharatiya Janata Party to subdue the people of the territory Kashmir.
They said that targeting the IIOJK journalists, youth and Hurriyat and human rights activists was part of iron-fist policy of Hindutva BJP-RSS.
