Detention under PSA: Ind MLA Er Rashid to move privilege motion in J&K Assembly

Jammu, Jan 23: Independent MLA Engineer Rashid will move privilege motion against the officers in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly who allegedly forged the date of birth of a boy detained under Public Safety Act during Kashmir unrest.

He asked the government to reply on it. The MLA created uproar in the House. Later speaking to reporters outside the Assembly, the MLA circulated the copies of Date of Birth Certificate issued by the Govt Middle School, Pamposh Colony, Palpora (Zone Iddgah), Srinagar, certifying that Sahil Ahmad Malik, son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Malik was the student of the said school and his date of birth as per the school record vide admission no:381, os 10-03-2002.

‘’As per the government reply, the detained boy is major, which is a total lie. I will expose the government and the officials, who misled the House,’’ said the MLA adding that he will move privilege tomorrow.
