The former Chief Minister of Jammu Kashmir and the President of the People’s Democratic Party, Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday claimed that she had been put under house arrest yet again.
Taking to Twitter, Mehbooba Mufti wrote, ““Illegally detained today for the third time in less than a fortnight. Too much democracy indeed,” Mehbooba said in a tweet. “If my movements are curbed due to ‘security concerns’ then why are BJP ministers allowed to campaign freely in Kashmir while I’ve been asked to wait until the culmination of DDC elections?”
By “too much democracy”, Mehbooba was apparently referring to NITI AAYOG CEO Amitabh Kant’s purported remarks on Tuesday that “tough” reforms are “very difficult in the Indian context,” as “we are too much of a democracy”. with Inputs from GNS
