Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday while addressing a group of journalists said that the BJP wants to ban her because she is raising her voice against the party and its leaders. Mufti, President of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was restricted from visiting the family of Waheed Parra, a senior PDP leader in South Kashmir and claimed that she was detained on Friday.

Amidst the eight-phased District Development Council (DDC) elections, Mufti claimed that the candidates of PAGD were not allowed to go out for campaigning. Mufti stated that elections were no solution to the problems of Jammu and Kashmir and by conducting polls nothing could be achieved. 

She said, The BJP should revoke their decision of abrogating Article 370; they want things to go their way and have no respect for democracy. She continued to say that no dialogue was held with Pakistan before scrapping Article 370 and Kashmir was locked since August 2019. 

The BJP calls Muslims as Pakistani, Sardars as Khalistani and students as members of Tukde Tukde? gang. Whoever speaks against them and their policies is antinational. Only the people who support BJP are Hindustanis;? they are creating a place where there is no room for democracy, Mufti added.

The DDC election is the first election in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019. The elections began on Saturday; would happen in eight phases and would continue till December 19. The counting of the votes would happen on December 22.
