The Jammu bar association on Thursday suspended work over the release of separatist leader Masrat Alam.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, the J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu said all its members stayed away from the high court and sub-ordinate courts to protest the decision taken by the state government to release Alam.

"The office bearers and senior members of the J&K High Court Bar Association strongly condemned the release of Masrat Alam and the seditious statement made by him after his release by the BJP-PDP government in the state," he said.
