SRINAGAR: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Friday claimed that she was placed under house arrest in Srinagar just ahead of her visit to Budgam.
Taking to social networking site Twitter, Mehbooba wrote: “Wanted to visit Budgam to express my solidarity with Kashmiri pandits protesting against GOIs failure to protect them. Have been put under house arrest as the fact that Kashmiri muslims & pandits empathise with each other’s pain doesn’t fit into their vicious communal narrative.”
