As August 5 this year marks the fourth aniiversary of abrogation of Article 370, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday claimed she and some senior leaders of her party were placed under house arrest while several others were detained on the fourth anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370. 

What did Mufti say?

바카라I바카라ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOI's false claims about normalcy to the SC stands exposed by their actions driven by paranoia,바카라 she tweeted.    

She said, "On one hand, giant hoardings calling upon Kashmiris to "celebrate" the abrogation of Article 370 have been put up across Srinagar, whereas 바카라brute force is being used to choke the actual sentiment of the people바카라.  

바카라Hope the Hon바카라ble SC takes cognisance of these developments at a time when Article 370 has come up for hearing,바카라 the former chief minister said in another tweet.

The Centre revoked Article 370 granting special status to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the erstwhile state into two Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh on August 5, 2019.      

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said after denying permission to the party for organising a peaceful programme on the fourth anniversary of Article 370 abrogation, a 바카라massive crackdown바카라 was carried against the party leaders during the night. 

A party spokesman alleged that former ministers Abdul Rehman Veeri, Nayeem Akhter and Asia Naqash, PDP general secretary Ghulam Nahi Lone Hanjura, general secretary (organisation) Mehboob Beg, and district president Budgam Mohammad Yasin Bhat were put under house arrest.  

He said party chief spokesperson Syed Suhail Bukhari, youth president Waheed ur Rehman Parra, state secretary Abdul Hameed Kohsheen, additional spokesperson Abdul Rouf Bhat, district president Srinagar Abdul Qayoom Bhat and other party leaders and workers were detained in different police stations.

The spokesman also said that the roads leading to the PDP headquarters near Sher-e-Kashmir Park were sealed and no staffer was allowed to enter the office. 

The National Conference (NC) also said that its party headquarter Nawa-i-Subah was 바카라sealed바카라 and no one was allowed to go inside.  

바카라True to form and in keeping with the clampdown on mainstream democratic activities organised by parties opposed to 5th Aug 2019, the JKNC office has been sealed by the police. No one is being allowed in or out of the office,바카라 it said in a social media post. 

바카라These steps betray the nervousness of the administration & render hollow their claims regarding great improvements in the last 4 years,바카라 it added. 

The police, however, were tight-lipped about the alleged restrictions on NC and PDP leaders.
