Jammu: Defending the decision of releasing Hurriyat leader, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Firdous Ahmad Tak, on Monday said no illegal procedure was followed while releasing Masarat Alam.

Tak said the issue will not affect his party’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).

“The decision will not affect the alliance and that the PDP will find a solution if any problem arises between the two parties,” Tak said.

He said that PDP believes reconciliation is a part of agenda and that the state government is allowed to take decisions for peace in the region.

The PDP leader said the Congress is trying to exert pressure on BJP over the matter when the truth is that Alam was released on legal basis.
