Jammu & Kashmir / Mehbooba Mufti is under house arrest after her remark on Geelani

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday claimed she was placed under house arrest in Srinagar, an afternoon after she criticised the police for showing ‘disrespect to the body of Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

“GOI [the Government of India] expresses subject for the rights of Afghan people however wilfully denies the identical to Kashmiris. I’ve been placed beneath neath house arrest these days due to the fact according to the administration the situation is far from normal in Kashmir. This exposes their faux claims of normalcy,” Ms Mufti stated in her tweet.

The former Chief Minister, after a party assembly in Srinagar, agitated over the “maltreatment” of the body of Geelani on September 2.
