New Delhi, Feb 8: Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was prevented to march to Parliament on Wednesday to protest the continuing anti-encroachment campaign in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mufti intended to march from Railway Bhawan to Parliament with a large contingent of party workers by her side in order to inform the opposition parties of the “bulldozer strategy” of the Jammu and Kashmir administration.
The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir was detained by police, and they transported her and party supporters to Jantar Mantar. The demonstrators left Jantar Mantar and scattered.

“We had come to inform the public, opposition parties and members of the ruling BJP about the misery faced by the public at large in Jammu and Kashmir. If we can’t go to Parliament, I wonder where we should go then. Does the government want us to get our grievances redressed at the United Nations,” Mufti asked.
“There is no rule of law that can be seen in Jammu and Kashmir and we came all the way to Delhi to speak our hearts out. But it seems that here also the voice of the general public is muzzled,” she added.
