People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti claimed on Saturday that she and her mother Mehooba Mufti were placed under house arrest, alleging that the gates of their house were locked to prevent them from visiting Sopore and Kathua.
She said that nothing has changed in Kashmir even after the elections, adding that even comforting the families of victims is now being criminalised.
“My mother & I both have been placed under house arrest. Our gates have been locked up because she was meant to visit Sopore where Waseem Mir was shot dead by the army. I intended to visit Kathua today to meet Makhan Din’s family today & am not being allowed to even move out. Nothing has changed in Kashmir even after elections. Now even comforting the families of victims is being criminalised,” Iltija wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
