Srinagar: Political leaders including three former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir were allegedly detained on Saturday ahead of a march by the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) to protest against the recommendations of the Delimitation Commission for the Union Territory. Taking to Twitter, National Conference vice-president and former chief minister Omar Abdullah claimed trucks have been parked outside his residence’s gates to scuttle the protest.

“Good morning & welcome to 2022. A new year with the same J&K police illegally locking people in their homes & an administration so terrified of normal democratic activity. Trucks parked outside our gates to scuttle the peaceful JKPAGD sit-in protest. Some things never change,” he tweeted

Former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti had also been placed under detention. “A truck is parked outside my house too,” she added.

GOI trumpets scrapping Article 370 & dismembering J&K throughout the country but is deeply paranoid & intolerant when people of J&K want to protest against its disempowerment. For the umpteenth time, we’ve been placed under house arrest for trying to organise a peaceful protest
