Time to Build Roads for Future, SC Appeals to People of J&K During Hearing

In an appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the Supreme Court on Wednesday said "it is time to build roads for the future". Justice Kaul, who himself belongs to J&K, decided to make this appeal while allowing a matter relating to detention of Kashmir Bar Association President Mian Abdul Qayoom. Qayoom was detained under the Public Safety Act in August 2019, and the high court had also upheld his detention, quoting his "separatist ideology." Justice Kaul, citing the current situations due to the pandemic, further said: "We know what we are saying right now looks strange but his willing, this time will go and everything will be okay."
