Why kids are held responsible for actions of father, Mehbooba Mufti on sacking of Salahuddin's sons

Jammu, Jul 12 (UNI) Against the backdrop of sacking of two sons of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahudin's from service by the Jammu and Kashmir Government, former Chief Minister and People's Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that why children are to be held responsible for the actions of their father.

"I am not supporting anybody. But, why are children to be held responsible for the actions of their father, untill and unless, don't have proof," Ms Mufti told reporters here this afternoon.

The PDP president is on four-day visit to Jammu.

On being asked that NIA has found them guilty, Ms Mufti said, "not only these two, 20-25 people were detained by the NIA this year."

"An individual can be put behind bars but not the thoughts," she said.

Ms Mufti further said, "enquiry is not the judgement and it is still on and how one can say that they are accused."

Jammu and Kashmir Government has sacked 11 of its employees including two sons of Syed Salahudin's sons for having "terror links".
