Says BJP has no interest in peace or healing in Kashmir

KS News Desk 

Srinagar, Sept 18: Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday termed the government decision to  place the political leadership under house arrest as "undemocratic reality in Jammu and Kashmir."

In a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti said "The decision to place the political leadership under house arrest today, simply to stop us from visiting Sopore to offer condolences on the demise of Professor Abdul Gani Bhat, lays bare the harsh and undemocratic reality in Jammu and Kashmir."

She further said that what unfolded at Hazratbal Dargah the eruption of spontaneous, raw public anger was not just an isolated incident.

"It was a loud, unmistakable message from a people pushed to the edge. The BJP however remains willfully blind to this truth refusing to learn anything from the deep anguish and suppressed emotions that have been building for years now," the post reads.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that the BJP has no interest in peace or healing in Kashmir."

Mehbooba Mufti further said that instead, they (BJP) seem determined to keep the region in a "constant state of turmoil weaponising  pain and unrest for political mileage across the rest of the country."

"This cynical approach is not just irresponsible; it is dangerous and utterly reprehensible," the post reads.

Meanwhile Peoples Conference Chairman Sajad Lone in a post on X said that he has been put under house arrest "in order to prevent me from visiting Botingoo, the ancestral village of Proffesor Ghani sahib."

"I fail to understand what is the need for this. Professor sahib was a pacifist and literally long retired. A final good bye is something which we all deserved," the post reads.
