Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Tuesday said elected representatives have to ensure that basic rights of people are upheld.

In a post on X, Mirwaiz said, “Repeated arrests of Kashmiris — many of whom have already completed their sentences — serve no justice.”

Stating that “youth are being targeted”, Mirwaiz said families of the arrested have reached him “in distress.” “Such harassment deepens the wounds and fuels mistrust and anger among the people,” he said.

He also urged the authorities to end the “punitive approach.” “Also, the elected representatives of the people cannot be bystanders to this. They need to fulfil their responsibility and ensure that basic rights of people are upheld,” Mirwaiz said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
