Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has said the \u201cdisparity\u201d in granting paroles by the courts \u201cexposes a troubling inconsistency and bias\u201d in the Indian justice system.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehbooba Mufti in a in a post on X said, \u201cTragic and puzzling that Umar Khalid had to wait five years just to get a 13-day parole to attend his sister\u2019s wedding while convicts like Gurmeet Singh guilty of rape and murder walk in and out on repeated paroles. The contrast is glaring,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her remarks came after a Delhi court granted interim bail from December 16 to December 29 to former Jawaharlal Nehru University student Umar Khalid to attend his sister\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

Her daughter and PDP leader Iltija Mufti also questioned the rationale behind granting an interim bail for only 13 days, asking if it were to give a sense of justice after Khalid\u2019s five-year incarceration.<\/p>\n

“Umar Khalid, who has been behind bars over five years without conviction under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), was granted bail for thirteen days to attend his sister\u2019s wedding. Does one pretend this is justice? Effusively grateful to Milords. Or does truth in the guise of sarcasm constitute contempt of court?\u201d Iltija Mufti said in a post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
