PDP chief and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti Tuesday claimed she has been “put under house arrest”, added this exposed the fake claims of normalcy in the state by the Government of India. She said the step has been taken as “according to the administration, the situation is far from normal in Kashmir”.
“GOI expresses concern for the rights of Afghan people but willfully denies the same to Kashmiris. Ive been placed under house arrest today because according to admin the situation is far from normal in Kashmir. This exposes their fake claims of normalcy,” Mufti tweeted.
Mufti’s tweet comes after security restrictions were imposed in the Valley after the death of separatist hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani last Wednesday.
In an interview to The Indian Express on September 2, Mufti said there was been “no movement forward” since the all-party meet with the Prime Minister in New Delhi on June 24, and the exercise served no greater purpose than to “showcase this photo where everybody was in the same frame”.
She said nothing has changed on the ground despite specific confidence building measures discussed at the meeting. “I had said… at least if you are able to release some people/ prisoners, that would help.”
