Srinagar, Oct 10: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has drawn parallels between the restrictions in Delhi and the situation in Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, alleging that protests were being suppressed and public dissent could later be denied.
In a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti wrote, “Today’s Delhi is a chilling reminder of Kashmir after the unconstitutional abrogation of Article 370. People were locked in their homes, the internet was shut down, and an entire region was placed under siege. The BJP then brazenly claimed that nobody had protested.”
“Today, with Delhi under siege, trains halted and roads to Jantar Mantar sealed, they may repeat the same lie, claiming that nobody protested against Gyanesh Kumar. First crush the protest, then deny it ever happened. This is how enforced silence is passed off as consent.” the post reads.
