SRINAGAR AUGUST 25:-Senior People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mohammad Farooq Inqlabi has strongly condemned the unwarranted confrontation by police authorities with former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP President, Mehbooba Mufti, earlier today.

In a strongly-worded statement, Inqlabi said, “The high-handed behavior of the police against a respected political leader is unacceptable in any democratic society. Mehbooba Mufti represents the democratic aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and any attempt to silence or intimidate her is an assault on democratic values and constitutional rights.”

He further stated that such acts reflect the shrinking space for political dissent and the increasing misuse of state machinery to stifle opposition voices. “The administration must be held accountable for such authoritarian actions which only deepen alienation and mistrust among the people,” Inqlabi added.

He urged civil society, human rights organizations, and democratic institutions to take serious note of the incident and demanded immediate action against those responsible for the confrontation.
