SRINAGAR: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti stated that the lives, property, and privacy of people were in danger due to the oppressive actions taken by different government agencies.
She urged the LG administration to provide an account of the hundreds of individuals arrested without following protocol.
Addressing party workers at Noorabad Kulgam, she said even women were not spared while referring to an elderly lady who was for money laundering.
Mehbooba said, “Though countless people were arrested by agencies like NIA, CBI, SIA, and SIU hardly any information was shared about their fate. Please tell us if are they alive or dead, where are they lodged? Which court has remanded them to custody? In spite of so many arrests there hardly was any conviction from the court as they all had been picked up on trumped up charges. This should lead the administration to review its policies,” she added.
Asserting that more important than power was the moral strength and political will to speak up for people and their rights. “I did not compromise on that even while heading the government with BJP. She said going into an alliance was a requirement not for power but to block its designs We did that successfully as long as it lasted. She said the BJP withdrew support to her government only after realising that we would implement our agenda of peace and development and would not go along the dotted line as they were used to.”
Urging the people to lend their voice to the efforts for restoration of our rights Mehbooba said she’s not on a campaign for votes. “Positions don’t matter to me but what matters is to speak up for our agenda and our people. I’ll never compromise on that, come what may”, she added
The convention was attended by senior leader Sartaj Madani, Waheed Parra, Manzoor Zargar , Gulzar Dar , sheikh Mohuddin , Arshid Baba and others .(KNS).
