I want to live a quiet life: Kashmiri law student says in Supreme Court on return from Valley
In its August 28 order, the Supreme Court had allowed Communist leader Sitaram Yechury and law student Aleem Syed Mohammed to travel to Kashmir, which has been under a security lockdown since August 5.
The law student who was allowed to visit Kashmir to check on his parents on the orders of the Supreme Court said he wanted to lead a ‘quiet and uneventful life’ as he handed over an affidavit to the judges in a sealed envelope detailing his visit.
Mohammed, a law graduate in Delhi’s Jamia Millia, had filed a plea seeking information about his family in Kashmir.
In its August 28 order, the Supreme Court had allowed Communist leader Sitaram Yechury and law student Aleem Syed Mohammed to travel to the Valley, which has been under a security lockdown since August 5 when Article 370 was scrapped in the state, under police protection and asked the two to submit a report on their return.
The student handed over the affidavit to the judge in a sealed envelope on Thursday while adding that whatever he mentions in it may have a bearing on his future. “I want to live a quiet and uneventful life.”
The top court had ordered allowing Kashmir visits of the Law student and the CPM leader while hearing a bunch of petitions – some against the scrapping of Article 370 in Kashmir, others against the arrest of leaders, restrictions on movement and ‘suspension of civil liberty’.
Yechury had filed a habeas corpus petition challenging the detention of Kashmiri politician and the party’s general secretary Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami.
