PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday blamed the Government for the exodus of Kashmiri pandits in Jammu Kashmir alleging that they refrained from acting despite having prior information.
Addressing a youth convention at Rajouri, Mehbooba Mufti claimed that the youth of Kashmir were being arrested in large numbers by the government under the label of ‘white-collar militants’ and ‘OGWs’.
“In Kashmir, our pandit brothers were killed. They had information, that there will be an attack, but they did nothing. When the attack happened, our people died and 900 Kashmiri youth were arrested. Then Home Minister came and another 1,000 people were arrested and locked up. This kind of torture is being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir. Our jails here are full, so they are taking our youth away to Agra jails. Today, our youth is referred to as white-collared militants, OGWs, and hybrid militants,” Mufti said.
