‘Illegally Detained’ Again by J&K Admin, Alleges Mehbooba Mufti

Mufti said that her daughter Iltija had been placed under ‘house arrest’ for wanting to visit a PDP leader’s family.

J&K People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Friday, 27 November, claimed that she had been illegally detained again, and that Jammu and Kashmir administration had not allowed her to visit party leader Waheed Ur Rehman's family in Pulwama.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday, arrested Waheed Parra, the President of the Youth Wing of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in a terror-related case.

"I have been illegally detained yet again. Since two days, J&K admin has refused to allow me to visit Waheed Parra's family in Pulwama."

Mufti added that her daughter Iltija has been placed under ‘house arrest’ for the same reason. "BJP Ministers & their puppets are allowed to move around in every corner of Kashmir but security is a problem only in my case," she wrote on Twitter.

Their cruelty knows no bounds. Waheed was arrested on baseless charges & I am not allowed to even console his family. Even my daughter Iltija has been placed under house arrest because she also wanted to visit Waheed’s family.
