In the letter mother of Danish has wrote “recently, I saw a ray of hope when you announced the amnesty for hundreds of youth, but later it deepened my wounds of separation after I found no name of my lone son Danish in the list.”
Thanking the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for announcing amnesty, Danish’s mother talking to KNB said that it was good to learn that Mehbooba ji recognized my pain of separation from child. She hoped that all other detainees will also be released on similar lines.
Not only Danish’s mother the PDP spokesman also thanked Chief Minister for grating amnesty to Danish, “Thank you Chief Minister @MehboobaMufti for fulfilling the wishes of a mother. Danish deserved a second chance at life as did many others who were granted amnesty by your government,” reads official twitter handle of PDP.
