Jammu: The opposition protested the detention of Kashmiri businessman Bilal Kawa on Tuesday and accused the government of being ‘afraid of New Delhi.
MLA Khanyar and General Secretary of the National Conference Ali Mohammad Sagar while demanding that the government should come clean over the issue said, ““If you are not afraid of Delhi then why you are silent on detention of Bilal Kawa.”
Kawa was detained at the Delhi airport over his alleged involvement in the 2000 Red Fort Attack case.
