Srinagar:
People’s Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti said the Government of India’s claim that the people of Jammu and Kashmir ‘now’ enjoy equal rights is a barefaced as basic fundamental rights of the dead and alive are suspended.
“GOI’s dubious claims that people of J&K now enjoy equal rights is a barefaced lie as truth is that even their basic human rights dead or alive are suspended with pervasive impunity,” Mehbooba said in a tweet.

“The ease with which GOI imposes a complete siege including a communications blackout in Kashmir every time it anticipates a reaction from people is distressing and deeply insensitive,” she added.
In the thread, she wrote “their misadventure of creating fear and suppression to eliminate a sentiment is counterproductive since feelings and emotions don’t dissipate or vanish into thin air. These feelings of betrayal, subjugation & anger are absorbed and passed on from one generation to the next.”
Following the death of senior resistance leader of Kashmir Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Wednesday night, the government imposed curfew and a communication blackout. However, mobile connection and broadband internet was restored last night.
