Several political leaders in Jammu and Kashmir, including People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti and Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Saturday claimed that authorities have put them under "house arrest" to prevent them to pay homage to the people allegedly killed by the Army on this day in
1931.
"The gates of my house have been locked up yet again to prevent me from visiting Mazar e Shuhada - an enduring symbol of Kashmir's resistance and resilience against authoritarianism, oppression and injustice.
The sacrifices of our martyrs is a testament that the spirit of Kashmiri's cannot be crushed.
