PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has been detained again, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir said on Friday. She claimed that she has been locked up in her home for two days because the administration of the Union territory “refused to allow her to visit the family of the Waheed Para party leader in Pulwama.” Mufti claimed that his daughter has also been placed under house arrest.
Para, chairman of the PPD youth wing and a former cabinet minister, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Delhi after two days of questioning on Wednesday. He had recently submitted his nomination for the upcoming Pulwama District Development Council (DDC) elections in southern Kashmir.
Mufti said he was arrested on unfounded charges and also shared a clip showing then-Interior Minister Rajnath Singh praising Para’s contribution as secretary of the J&K sports council. This clip is from the time when PDP was in alliance with the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir.
Para is considered close to the Mufti and is said to have a following among the youth of the Valley. Even after the BJP broke its alliance with the PDP and several of the latter’s top leaders resigned, Para was one of the visible faces of the party who claimed support and supported the Mufti.
