The National Conference on Saturday appealed for early release of all political leaders, detained in August last year, for resumption of political activities in the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Rejecting reports appearing in a section of the media, the NC said it was not working on any deal with the Centre to secure release of its leadership.
Terming the reports "baseless", the NC said in a statement that both its patron Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah as well as other detained leaders of the party would never leave Kashmir.
"The party would like to place on record that no such deal has been offered nor would any deal ever be acceptable," the statement said
