The main opposition DMK on Sunday condemned the Centre for what it called "turning Jammu and Kashmir region into a huge prison' and demanded the release of all those arrested, including former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah.
The M K Stalin-led party, which has all along been critical of the Centre's action on the Jammu and Kashmir issue here, demanded that the Centre "respect the sensitivities of the people."
Also, it said"...this general council (meet) condemns turning the region into a huge prison and betraying the people; for arrest of leaders like Farooq Abdullah and placing them under house arrest who strove for democracy."
The party, in its meet chaired by Stalin, urged the Centre to "immediately free all those arrested and respect human rights, the sensitivities of the Kashmiri people and democratic ethos."
