Freedom of speech was not found in Kashmir, Mehbooba sat on a dharna in Jantar Mantar, said – my state is moaning with pain
PDP President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti staged a dharna at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar after freedom of speech was denied in Kashmir. During this, he was holding a poster in his hand and in which it was written that Kashmir is in pain. The President of the People’s Democratic Party demanded that the killing of innocent people during the encounter in Kashmir and efforts to suppress the people there be stopped.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said she decided to stage a sit-in in Delhi after she was denied permission to hold protests in Kashmir. She said that whenever she announced to protest, the police used to take her into custody or put her under house arrest. Several PDP workers along with Mehbooba Mufti took part in this dharna.
During this, Mehbooba Mufti said that Kashmir has become a prison where people are not allowed to express their opinion. They are being repressed since August of 2019 and I am surprised that the government with the help of some paid media is busy showing that all is well in the valley. It is worth noting that in August 2019 itself, Article 370 was abolished and Jammu and Kashmir was given the status of a Union Territory.
Talking to reporters during the dharna, Mehbooba Mufti denied the allegation that she questioned every action of the police. He said that whenever a terrorist is killed in an encounter, no one questions. But only when a civilian is killed, people come out and ask questions. Also Mehbooba said that you saw what happened in Nagaland where 13 civilians were killed. An FIR was registered there immediately. Why doesn’t this happen in Kashmir also? Although I do not have much hope that anything will happen from these investigations, but still the government seems to be taking action there.
She also said that I have come to tell the people of this country that if they do not wake up still, the day is not far when this country of Gandhi and Ambedkar will be converted into Godse’s country. After that we will all be helpless.
