- On May 5 in Srinagar, Mehbooba Mufti, leader of the People’s Democratic Party and ex-Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, sent a letter to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha condemning the extensive security measures taken in the aftermath of the April 22 terrorist attack at Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow.
- The letter came in response to the April 22 terror incident in Pahalgam that resulted in the deaths of 25 Indian citizens and a Nepali individual, prompting over 3,000 arrests and close to 100 detentions under the Public Safety Act amid mounting concerns about mass reprisals.
- Mufti highlighted that local civilians like shawl vendors and Poniwalas were rounded up, kept for hours without food, and some volunteers assisting investigations were labeled OGWs and died in custody.
- She urged ending arrests, releasing innocents, waiving loan interest for tourism workers, providing financial aid to devastated families, and conducting a timely transparent investigation, calling the current actions “mass retribution.”
- Mufti warned that the crackdown risks alienating Kashmiris, emphasized their unanimous condemnation of terror, and urged fair, compassionate governance ahead of the approaching Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage.
