Amid ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024, People`s Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti has written to the Election Commission to stop the alleged harassment and "illegal" arrest of the party workers, reported news agency ANI.
In her letter to ECI, Mufti said, "It has come to my attention that the state administration, under the control of the Union government, is shamelessly engaged in activities aimed at intimidating voters and supporters of the People`s Democratic Party. I am deeply troubled by reports of security agencies conducting raids and harassing PDP workers in the Pulwama and Shopian districts. Numerous party members, sympathizers, and activists have been arbitrarily detained without justification, apparently as punishment for their efforts to organize public rallies and encourage voter turnout," reported ANI.
