PDP President Mehbooba Mufti was stopped from visiting South Kashmir’s Tral area as police locked the main gate of her Gupkar residence this morning.
According to a PDP leader Mehbooba was scheduled to visit the Seer area of Tral payeen but district administration did not allow her. Further the policemen from police station Ram Munshibagh locked the main gate of her residence and placed a banker in front.
Speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Mehbooba Mufti said: “ Well I wanted to visit Seer, Tral where people allege that forces are creating havoc, ransacking homes , beating villagers mercilessly. But I have not been allowed to go there, so it seems the government has a lot to hide so they have put me under house arrest.”
However, a police officer told KNO that Mehbooba has been requested to avoid visiting Tral due to security reasons by SP Awantipora and DIG South Kashmir—(KNO)
She said, “Locked up in my house today yet again for attempting to visit the village in Tral allegedly ransacked by army. This is the real picture of Kashmir that visiting dignitaries must be shown instead of GOIs sanitised & guided picnic tours.”
