Yet again denied to visit my grandfather’s graveyard: Iltija Mufti

Srinagar: Iltija Mufti, daughter of former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Saturday alleged that she was once again denied permission to visit the grave of his grandfather in Bijbehara town of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
She said her visit to graveyard is being looking through the prism of security while two former CMs who are SSG protectees are being allowed to visit picturesque Pahalgam and Gulmarg.
“Denied permission yet again to visit my grandfather’s grave in Bijbehara by @JmyKmrPolice. Odd that its safe enough for other SSG protectees inc 2 ex CMs to make trips to Gulmarg & Pahalgam but a security problem arises only in my case. @Sandeep_IPS-JKP why a different yardstick?”, she tweeted.
“Citing COVID as a reason is an excuse. I have been denied permission since January. I am simply being punished for speaking against GoI’s ruthless actions in J&K. Last I checked it was Ms Mufti who was detained under PSA, not both of us,” she said in another tweet. (KNS)
