Governors Rule in Jammu and Kashmir
Mohammad Arif, who is in his early twenties and is facing multiple stone-pelting cases, has been detained for three months. Arif was promised by a local Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader that cases against him will be withdrawn. I agreed not to indulge in stone pelting if the cases against me are withdrawn,the boy, who hails from South Kashmir, said. Arifs father, a fruit vendor, said, I want my son to study, but these cases are deterring him,and added that he has lost hope.
