Jammu and Kashmir authorities on Saturday prevented former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti from visiting Anantnag district.

Taking to twitter, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti claimed that she had been put under house arrest and prevented from visiting the family of a civilian allegedly shot dead by the CRPF.

Under house arrest for the umpteenth time today. Wanted to visit the family of the innocent civilian shot dead by CRPF. GOI wants us to selectively condemn killings. They are outraged only in cases where hate politics can be lapped up to polarise people. https://t.co/EtppAfMbKl

Police locked the main entrance of Mehbooba Mufti's high security Gupkar Road residence and cross parked a mobile bunker vehicle at the gate in order to prevent her from undertaking her scheduled visit to south Kashmir's Anantnag district.

People's Democratic Party (PDP) headed by Mufti on Friday demanded the resignation of Lt governor, Manoj Sinha due to deteriorating security situation in Kashmir.

After selective targeting of a Kashmiri Pandit pharmacy owner, a non-local street vendor, a Sikh school principal and a scheduled caste teacher belonging to Jammu division, there has been fear and consternation in the minds of both Muslims and non-Muslims in the Valley.
