In a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti wrote, “Ironic and unfair that Iltija’s two PSOs have been suspended for no fault of their own. They were punished simply because Iltija managed to reach Kathua despite being confined to her home like a criminal. Meanwhile, there has been no reported action against those responsible for the deaths of Waseem Mir in Sopore or Makhan Din in Bilawar.”
“The ruling NC government, which came to power promising to ensure security and dignity for the people, remains a silent observer . They thus are not only shirking from their responsibility but also thereby normalizing these unjust and abnormal actions.” Mehbooba Mufti added.
Mehbooba Mufti and Iltija were placed under house arrest in Srinagar on Saturday while planning visits to Billawar and Sopore to meet the families of Makhan Din and Waseem Mir, respectively.
However, on Sunday, Iltija reached Billawar and expressed solidarity with Din’s family. Later, in Jammu, she was set to hold a press conference at the party headquarters, but police restricted her to the state guest house where she was staying, media reports said.
