The Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday said it had started the process of releasing political prisoners and bringing Kashmiri prisoners back to the State.
PDP leader and Minister for Public Works Altaf Bukhari told The Hindu the process would be completed within a year.
“It is a part of our manifesto. We have to deliver on it and we will,” Mr. Bukhari said. The party also had started the process of clearing passports of people whose relatives had been involved in militancy.
“We have also promised that we will withdraw the FIRs registered against the youth who protested in 2008 and 2010, and we shall do it in a year’s time,” Mr. Bukhari said.
