Detained in Jammu, stopped from addressing media, claims PDP’s Iltija Mufti | India Information

JAMMU: PDP’s Iltija Mufti Sunday claimed she was detained in Jammu and stopped from addressing a press convention after her return from Billawar, in Kathua district, the place she had gone to supply condolences to the household of Makhan Din. Twenty-five-year-old Makhan died by suicide allegedly after police torture throughout questioning. Kathua DM and police have ordered separate inquiries into the dying.
Iltija posted on X: “Detained at Circuit Home Jammu now. All this as a result of @JmuKmrPolice needed me to cancel my press convention scheduled for 4 pm. The elected govt is simply too busy internet hosting a lunch in Delhi to care about victims of human rights violations”.

Former J&Ok chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, who’s Iltija’s mom, strongly criticized the detention. Her X submit acknowledged: “It seems that the ruling social gathering’s understanding of democracy extends solely so far as holding elections and forming a govt, with little regard for the elemental freedoms that underpin a real democracy. Very unlucky and ironical that one NC minister’s go to to Bilawer was facilitated by police and Iltija is being punished for a similar.”
