Srinagar.May 3 : Police arrested a renowned Islamic scholar and noted writer of sub-continent, Dr Ghulam Qadir Lone from his home in Hudipora village of Baramulla district. Dr Lone, who is PhD in Islamic Studies from Aligarh Muslim University, has been detained at police station Dangiwacha on ‘baseless charges’, Jamat-e-Islami said. A renowned scholar, Dr Lone has many international publications to his credit and is engaged in spreading the message of Islam. “But, the people at the helm of affairs in the state have begun to see his social and religious activities with aversion. The state is trying to bar him from continuing his peaceful activities and without any regard for his erudition has been given ill treatment in police station,” the Jama’t said. “Further, the way police have launched a widespread arrest spree across the state, indicates that the future of our youth is being spoiled,” the Jama’t said.
