He also uploaded a video of his interaction with his security personnel at his ‘Fairview’ residence in the Gupkar area here.
“This reign of repression and terror in Kashmir is the raw and disgusting truth that the Government of India wants to hide from the rest of the country. A 16-year-old is killed and then hastily buried, denying his family the right and the opportunity to perform his last rites (sic), ”he said in another tweet.
In the video, when Mehbooba asks security officers why they prevented him from visiting Pulwama, they tell him that “there is a security problem.”
The PDP chief said she was prevented from visiting different areas of the Valley without being informed about the reasons.
“Why am I not allowed to go? Am I a prisoner or a criminal? Which is the reason? Show me the orders, the sections, under which I am detained, ”she told officials.
Mehbooba claimed that the door to his home was locked and that additional security forces were posted outside to prevent him from leaving the residence.
Referring to the upcoming visit by a delegation from the European Union, Mehbooba asked officials how the security forces can secure them when they cannot provide security to people here.
“When you can’t provide security for me, how are you going to secure the delegation?… Let them keep my security and allow me to go there without security. You cannot keep the doors of my residence always closed, ”he says in the video.
