The former chief minister of Jammu Kashmir and people’s democratic party president Mehbooba Mufti Wednesday leveled a serious allegation against the admin saying that the admin was forcing shopkeepers to open their shops.
She said that the shopkeepers have been ordered to keep their shops open “or face consequences”.
“While rest of India will celebrate Republic Day as a holiday tomorrow, shopkeepers in Kashmir have allegedly been ordered to keep their shops open or face consequences. One of many abnormal & coercive steps to project normalcy,” she said on her twitter.
Pertinently, a complete shutdown is observed in the Kashmir valley on January 26 every year.
