Dec. 25, Srinagar: Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was put under house arrest on Monday in anticipation of her visit to Surankote, where people had been slain while in the custody of the army.
The PDP President told the media over the phone that the police had locked up her home and that a sizable military detachment had been stationed on the streets leading to it. Very unsettling information is being received from Poonch. Not only have they detained individuals from a certain region, but they are also bundling residents of Thana Mandi, Pargai, and other hamlets. Mehbooba said, “Many patients in severe circumstances in hospitals get such harsh treatment.
She continued by saying it was crucial for her to visit Poonch and speak with the victims whose loved ones had died while in army detention. But according to the PDP President, the government wants to imply that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have no voice and no one to ask questions of by detaining me. The administration wants to convey to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who are already denied their right to vote, that they have no one to turn to with concerns about their well-being. We will subject you to torture, and nobody will be permitted to lessen your agony—what could be a greater injustice than this?
She continued by saying that a youngster called Farooq from Thana Mandi Pargai is imprisoned in a battle for his life. Five of his family members were slain by terrorists in an assault on him in 2005. What more is a person able to give up for their nation? He is presently fighting for his life in the hospital after they detained him and severely abused him. There is so much unfairness. The sentiment that “Dil our Dilli ki Douri ko khatam karna hai” is no longer relevant; instead, Mehbooba said that these heartbreaking circumstances are altering the game.
According to the PDP President, the state’s treatment of the people of Jammu and Kashmir by the establishment is unprecedented in history, and they should be treated as enemies of the state. “They produce a film, post it online, and beat and abuse individuals while they’re in detention. It goes without saying that a civilian cannot record a video while under army custody and then distribute it. They want to show everyone that this is what we are capable of doing. To what extent do they want to terrorize us all?
