Mufti, Abdullah political personalities, not terrorists: Mamata Banerjee

Describing arrested former J&K Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti as 'political personalities' and not 'terrorists', West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee here on Tuesday demanded their release.

She said they must be freed for the interest of the democratic institution and for the people. "The message should go across the country that in anything related to the motherland, we are all together. Nobody of any caste, creed or religion should think that they will be isolated," Banerjee said.
