Mehbooba alleges she was put under house arrest to prevent her from paying homage to 1931 martyrs

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday alleged she was put under house arrest to prevent her from paying homage to 22 Kashmiri people who were killed by the army of a Dogra ruler on this day in 1931.

The former chief minister said she will not allow the BJP to “distort our history or forget our heroes”.

“I’m under house arrest for wanting to visit Martyr’s graveyard today. This at a time when GOI has used its tall claims of normalcy in SC (Supreme Court) to justify an act of betrayal- the illegal abrogation of Article 370,” she wrote on Twitter.
