Barred from visiting Kulgam, says Iltija Mufti

Srinagar, March 17: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader, Iltija Mufti, Monday said that she was barred from visiting Kulgam, where the bodies of two young men who had mysteriously disappeared were recovered.

In a post on X, Iltija Mufti said, “ Once again the gates of our house have been locked up. Such is the high handedness that they don’t even have the courtesy to inform us. I wanted to visit Kulgam where dead bodies of two young men who disappeared mysteriously were finally found. What are the authorities trying to hide here?”

On Sunday, the PDP leader said that it was unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman who was protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar, Kulgam.

“Shocking & unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar Kulgam. It is this high handed behaviour from officers expected to uphold law that creates a trust deficit alienating people even further,” she said in a social media post.
