J&K: Separatist leader freed from jail
Srinagar, Mar 7 (IBNS):Separatist leader Masarat Alam has been released from a jail on Saturday, media reports said.
The move was made days after the new government was formed in Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed said that all separatist leaders in the state, who are under detention, will be released.
Alam, who had allegedly spearheaded the stone-pelting agitations in 2008 and 2010, was released from prison after four years, reports said.
