In a tweet, Mehbooba Mufti said, “I’ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOIs false claims about normalcy to the SC stands exposed by theirs actions driven by paranoia.”
Earlier PDP’s Arif Laigaroo was detained by forces on Friday evening.
The party had said that they were denied permission to hold a seminar on the unilateral abrogation of special status of Jammu Kashmir, while the BJP was granted permission to take out celebration rallies.
Meanwhile, the National Conference has said that it’s office at Nawai Subh in Srinagar has been sealed.
“True to form and in keeping with the clampdown on mainstream democratic activities organised by parties opposed to 5th Aug 2019, the JKNC office has been sealed by the police. No one is being allowed in or out of the office,” JKNC said.
These steps betray the nervousness of the administration & render hollow their claims regarding great improvements in the last 4 years, the party tweeted.
This is breaking story. Details will be available soon.
