Srinagar: On the fifth anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti was placed under house arrest, and her party office was sealed by authorities.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mufti confirmed over the phone that she was confined to her residence and that the PDP office had been locked amid tightened restrictions in the region.
In a related development, National Conference chief spokesman Tanvir Sadiq reported that he was also detained at his home. Sadiq criticized the move as “completely unnecessary” and “unwarranted,” sharing a photo on the social media platform X that depicted policemen stationed outside his gate to prevent him from leaving.
These actions come as tensions remain high in the region on the anniversary of the revocation of Article 370, which had granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
