Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti was detained by the Delhi police on Wednesday during a protest against the administration’s ongoing anti-encroachment drive across the erstwhile state, especially in Kashmir valley.
According to reports, a team of women police officials of the Delhi police lifted the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief up from the site of the protest and carried her into a nearby police van which then drove off carrying the former J&K CM and her supporters inside.
Videos of the incident showed Mufti being lifted and carried into the van by police officials.
Reports said, Mufti, accompanied by scores of her party workers planned to march from Railway Bhawan to Parliament, where she wanted to inform opposition parties about the Jammu and Kashmir administration’s “bulldozer policy”.
Mufti said that they had come to inform public, opposition parties and members of the ruling BJP about the misery faced by the people in Jammu and Kashmir. The former chief minister warned that she will approach the United Nations if they aren’t allowed to go to the Parliament and their grievances aren’t redressed.
Mufti asked: If we can’t go to Parliament, I wonder where we should go then. Does the government want us to get our grievances redressed?”
Mufti said they came to Delhi to “speak our hearts out since rule of law is absent in Jammu and Kashmir”, adding that it seemed that voice of the general public is muzzled here also.
Jammu and Kashmir is being razed and being turned into Afghanistan. Our economy is being destroyed; Mufti was heard shouting while being detained.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has launched an anti-encroachment drive to recover state land illegally occupied by “influential persons” across the erstwhile state.
The authorities have reiterated that the main target of the drive is to bring down high-profile land grabbers, however, many from weaker sections claim to have borne the brunt of the eviction drive.
‘BJP is akin to East-India company’
On Monday, Mehbooba Mufti out at the BJP over the ongoing anti-encroachment drive in the Union Territory, comparing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led regime to the East-India Company who wants to reduce the erstwhile state to rubble like war-torn Afghanistan.
In a statement, the PDP chief claimed that the situation in Kashmir is worse than Palestine where the conditions are “better”. She alleged that earlier it was suspected that BJP had taken a cue from Israel’s treatment of Palestine but now the saffron party wants to turn Jammu and Kashmir into Afghanistan.
Commenting on J&K administration’s anti-encroachment drive Mufti claimed that Palestine was in a better situation as people can at least talk about their woes, whereas Kashmir is “worse” where people’s homes are being razed by bulldozers.
Mufti compared the BJP government with the East-India Company for it’s alleged suppression of dissent and free speech, alleging that the PM Modi regime has “weaponized” its majority to “bulldoze” the Constitution, while referring to the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
The PDP chief alleged that the BJP was also weaponized media to “crush the voice of dissent and judiciary.”
Mufti claimed that the BJP government has Kashmir has turned into Afghanistan as you can find bulldozers at every corner, ready to demolish homes of those the government doesn’t agree with.
She said that the BJP has outsourced jobs and resources out of the Union Territory while probe agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) are being used to silence dissenting journalist and politicians across the country.
Mufti added that “crooks and conmen” are being given 45,000-hectare land while the people of Kashmir are being driven out of their land on the pretext of anti-encroachment drive.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy meets Tollywood actors, filmmakers, says celebrities must control their fans
The Chief Minister held a meeting with Tollywood actors and filmmakers on Thursday amid strained ties between the ruling dispensation and the tinseltown following the arrest of Pushpa 2 actor Allu Arjun
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has assured Tollywood actors and filmmakers that his government stands with the Telugu film industry and made it clear that there will be no compromise on law and order.
The Chief Minister held a meeting with Tollywood actors and filmmakers on Thursday amid strained ties between the ruling dispensation and the tinseltown following the arrest of Pushpa 2 actor Allu Arjun. CM Revanth Reddy said that celebrities must control their fans and the industry must be responsible.
The meeting took place at Telangana State Police Command and Control Centre at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad. The delegation of influential people from Tollywood was led by Telangana Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman Dil Raju. Actors such as Nagarjuna, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej, Kalyan Ram, Shiva Balaji, Adavi Sesh, Nithin, and Venkatesh among other attendees.
The meeting also included directors Koratala Siva, Anil Ravipudi, K Raghavendra Rao, Prashanth Varma, Sai Rajesh, and producers Suresh Babu, KL Narayana, Damodhar, Allu Aravind, BVSN Prasad, and Chinna Babu, among others.
Earlier on December 4, when Allu Arjun attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and chaos ensued when he waved to fans from the sunroof of his car. This resulted in the tragic death of a 35-year-old woman and injuries to her eight-year-old child.
Furthermore, some ruling Congress leaders have found fault with Allu Arjun’s comments last week, describing the stampede incident as purely accidental and denying the allegations made by CM Revanth Reddy on the roadshow before the film screening.
This incident has also sparked political controversy. Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy blamed Allu Arjun for the tragedy, stating in the Assembly that police had denied permission for any event at Sandhya Theatre due to safety concerns. However, the actor dismissed the allegations, calling them an attempt at character assassination.
