Several Jammu and Kashmir political figures, including PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, said on Saturday that they were placed under house arrest on Kashmir Martyrs` Day. The leaders claimed that they were placed under arrest to prevent them from visiting the `martyrs` graveyard` to commemorate the 22 Kashmiris killed by the Dogra army in 1931. There has been no formal confirmation of these allegations.
Mehbooba Mufti, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, claimed to be under house arrest at her home in Khimber, on the city`s outskirts on Kashmir Martyrs` Day. "The gates of my house have been locked to prevent me from visiting Mazar e Shuhada, a symbol of Kashmir`s resistance and resilience against oppression and injustice," she wrote on X, (formerly Twitter), reported PTI.
