Senior Congress leader and former Union minister Prof. Saifuddin Soz has condemned the house arrest of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, who was not allowed to address political workers at Budgam.

In a statement to the press issued on Wednesday, he said, “I strongly condemn the incarceration of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, who was not allowed to address political workers at Budgam and, instead she was put under house-arrest, illegally and undemocratically.”

“BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain himself behaves as a member of a gang when he lumps the Kashmir mainstream leadership as such. One wonders why can’t the BJP leaders oppose Kashmir mainstream leadership democratically,” he added.

“Shahnawaz Hussain, Jatinder Singh and Smriti Irani have not succeeded in gaining any foothold in Kashmir. The worrisome situation is that since the BJP leaders are bound to experience total defeat in Kashmir, they will make more useless noise and pollute the political atmosphere,” he said.
