Arrested Parra’s online oath ‘not allowed’
Around 277 elected District Development Council (DDC) representatives were administered oath in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.

An official said that out of 280 members, 137 in the Kashmir division and 140 in the Jammu division “were administered oath in their respective districts”.

Srinagar: After winning the majority of seats in District Development Councils (DDC), the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) on Thursday asked the BJP-led central government to immediately release all their political leaders who were detained just days before the results were announced.
Ahead of the results of the DDC elections, the government had detained many leaders of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), among them Naeem Akhtar, Sartaj Madni, Mansoor Ahmad, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached several properties of National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah in a cricket scam case.
“What is the logic of detaining the leaders? The just concluded elections were the most peaceful,” PAGD spokesperson Sajad Lone told reporters here. “Something good should have come from the government. But it started with detentions. Why do they need to detain people?”
