Speaking to media persons here at party headquarters on the sidelines of a function, Mir said that it is upto Faesal, how he wants to contribute to the people.
“He is at liberty. Ours is a democratic country, freedom of religion has been guaranteed to us in the constitution. The view point he has been expressing over the national and state happenings has been welcomed by all secular minded people of the country,” he said.
To a question, he said that as a bureaucrat also he could have continued to be the role model of the youth.
