SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday claimed that she has been placed under house arrest for preventing her from meeting the family of Kashmiri Pandit Sunil Kumar Bhat. Bhat was recently shot dead by terrorists in Shopian. Mufti shared pictures of a CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) vehicle parked outside the closed doors of his residence in the Gupkar area of Srinagar.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister alleged that the “senseless policies” of the central government led to the killings of Kashmiri Pandits. He said, “The Indian government, through its senseless policies, wants to make the condition of Kashmiri Pandits worse. These policies led to the targeting and killing of those who chose not to flee. I have been placed under house arrest today with a view to projecting us as our main enemy.”
Mehbooba said that her efforts to meet Bhat’s family in Chotigam were foiled by the administration. “The same administration claims that we have been put under house arrest for our safety, while they themselves can go to every corner of the valley,” he said.
