Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti has said that she is under house arrest again and unable to move out of her residence on the Gupkar road in Srinagar in order to meet her family in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
In a video tweeted by the former chief minister, she was seen having a row of words with the security personnel and asking the reasons for stopping her from going out.
“Placed under house arrest as usual for trying to visit the family of Athar Mushtaq, killed allegedly in a fake encounter. His father was booked under UAPA for demanding his dead body. This is normalcy GOI wants to showcase to the EU delegation visiting Kashmir,” Mufti tweeted.
“This reign of suppression and terror in Kashmir is the unvarnished and unpalatable truth that GOI wants to hide from the rest of the country. A 16-year-old is killed & then hurriedly buried denying his family the right and chance to perform his last rites.”
