In a tweet this morning, she said human rights were being violated in Jammu and Kashmir on World Humanitarian Day, and added that she would pray for human rights and peace in the valley.
Underlining that human rights violation was close to her heart, she referred to her 21-day protest against custodial deaths in 1995.
Meanwhile, Congress strongman and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has asked the Centre to release the detained political leaders. He demanded that the BJP-led government reverse its decision.
Claiming that abrogation of Article 370 has been proved wrong, Azad said nobody in the state was happy and hence, the government should restore normalcy by nullifying its move.
