Court frames terror charges against PDP leader Waheed Parra
The Hindu
Parra is alleged to have established a nexus with terrorists
A special court has framed terror charges against Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra, a senior PDP leader and close aide of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, based on a police charge sheet claiming that he was an asset for Pakistan-based terror groups and that his 13-year journey as a journalist and politician from 2007 was a "saga of subterfuge, deceit and double-dealing". The court had heard arguments on the framing of charges from the defence and the prosecution earlier this month and it allowed framing of charges against Mr Parra, who is alleged to have established a nexus with terrorists. He sought support from terrorists for political gains and reciprocated by providing a range of help which led to terror strikes.
