Srinagar, May 06 : Iltija Mufti Daughter of Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said that extention of my mother’s detention doesn’t surprise me.
She in a tweet said that, “stifling voices of reason has become the norm for the current dispensation especially post illegal scrapping of Article 370. Therefore, extention of my mother’s detention doesn’t surprise me”.
The tweet further reads , “wishful thinking to assume that by smothering any debate on Article 370, the issue will vanish”.
Pertinently, The Home Department on Tuesday evening extended PSA of Mufti by three months. Detentions of a senior National Conference (NC) leader Ali Mohammad Sagar and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Sartaj Madani was also extended under PSA by three more months by the J-K administration.
Mehbooba was detented in August 2019 when BJP-led Central government abrogated Jammu and Kashmir’s special position and bifurcated it into two Union Territories.
