Admin selectively targeting PDP leaders, forcing eviction from govt havens : Mehbooba
7/4/2021 11:45:40 PM
Early Times Report

Srinagar, July 4: Alleging that the administration is selectively targeting PDP leaders and former MLAs by forcing them to vacate secure government accommodations at a time when militancy is on the rise yet again, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said the Jammu and Kashmir government will be responsible if anything happened to her party leaders.
Mehbooba, who is the president of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has written a letter to Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, appealing him to personally intervene and take corrective steps immediately.
I am deeply concerned by the manner in which the administration is selectively targeting PDP leaders and ex MLAs. At a time when militancy is on the rise yet again, they have been made to vacate their official residences in Srinagar without providing any alternate accommodations, the PDP chief wrote.
Ms Mehbooba said what makes matters worse is that even after their repeated requests to grant them security in villages where they originally reside; these requests have been declined for reasons best known to them. The state administration has cited the presence of militants for their refusal to provide security,? she added.
However, she said the same administration has no qualms in evicting them for secure government accommodations in Srinagar and deliberately putting them in harm’s way.
It’s no secret that in recent times we have witnessed how elected representatives have been targeted and even killed since they are soft targets especially when they are not provided with adequate security. Let me also bring to your notice that the former MLA from PDP Zahoor Ahmad Mir has been a victim of militancy himself. His father was shot dead by militants,? she said.
In such circumstances I find it surprising and extremely distressing that while on one hand there is a section of new politicians who are given all kinds of facilities including security, their movement throughout J&K. But on the other hand, members of PDP are treated with utter disdain and contempt. It’s almost as if the administration is intentionally putting their lives at risk,? she added.
Ms Mehbooba said she would like to place it on record that if anything untoward happens to any of her party men, she will hold this administration responsible. I hope that you will intervene and take corrective steps immediately, she wrote.
