SRINAGAR: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertion about debate and dissent being essence of democracy in the light of the detentions and curbs on opposition leaders in Kashmir.
“If debate and discussion are essential to democracy then why deprive people of J&K of the same rights? For us Kashmiris, its only been division, draconian laws and detentions,” Mehbooba Mufti’s Twitter handle, operated by her daughter Iltija Mufti, tweeted in response to a post by the Prime Minister.
