Peoples Democratic Party president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s detention came to end after 14 months. She was detained since the removal of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
Now Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter Iltija Mufti tweeted from Mehbooba’s Twitter handle,”As Ms Mufti’s illegal detention finally comes to an end, Id like to thank everybody who supported me in these tough times. I owe a debt of gratitude to you all. This is Ilija signing off. فی امان اﷲ May Allah protects you.”
Mehbooba Mufti was under house arrest from August 5, 2019, along with abolishing Article 370, which gave special state status in Jammu and Kashmir last year. Some time ago he approached the court for release.
Let us tell you that the Supreme Court had heard the petition demanding the release of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday. Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter Iltija Mufti had requested the Supreme Court to amend the petition filed against the imprisonment of her mother under the Public Safety Act (PSA). Hearing this, the court sought answers from the Jammu and Kashmir administration. Asked how much custody can be done under Public Safety Act? How long will Mehbooba be kept in custody?
The Supreme Court said that detention cannot be held forever. At the same time, the SC had allowed Iltija Mufti, her uncle to meet her mother Mehbooba Mufti. Explain that in July, the detention of the mufti under the PSA was extended by three months.
