Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday alleged that she was illegally detained at her residence in Srinagar and was not allowed to move out.
Mufti was scheduled to visit Budgam area to meet people, who are being evicted from their lands and homes, after the administration scrapped the Roshni Act. The police and civil officers cited orders from “higher authorities” for the politician’s detention.
“Illegal detention has become GOIs [Government of India’s] favourite go to method for muzzling any form of opposition,” Mufti wrote in a tweet. “I’ve been detained once again because I wanted to visit Budgam where hundreds of families were evicted from their homes.”
She said the Centre wanted to continue inflicting “oppression and zulm” on the people of Jammu and Kashmir, “without any questions asked”.
GOI wants to continue inflicting oppression & zulm on the people of J&K without any questions asked.
