Mehbooba: I’m under house arrest
Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir, said yesterday that she has been placed under house arrest at her residence in Srinagar.
Taking to Twitter, Mufti said while the Government of India (GOI) is expressing concerns about the rights of Afghans, it is denying the same to Kashmiris.
“GOI expresses concern for the rights of Afghan people but wilfully denies the same to Kashmiris. I’ve been placed under house arrest today because according to admin the situation is far from normal in Kashmir. This exposes their fake claims of normality,” Mehbooba tweeted.
This comes a day after Mufti said that the last rites of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani who died on Wednesday night should have been performed as per family wishes.
