You have filled the jails by carrying out (indiscriminate) arrests. The Enforcement Directorate, NIA, SIA raids .... does anyone treat their own people like this?” she asked

Mehbooba: Centre talks with NE militants, treats J-K civilians as militants

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday the Centre was holding talks with militants in the northeast, but treating ordinary civilians in Jammu and Kashmir as militants.


“We will not surrender, we will not raise the white flag. If you talk to us with dignity, we will respond with respect. However, if you talk through batons like you did in Bafliaz, it will not work,” Mufti said at a function at Bijbehara in Anantnag district. Mehbooba Mufti said while the Centre was holding talks with the militants in the Northeast, it had branded ordinary civilians in Jammu and Kashmir as militants.


“There (in the northeast) you talk to militants while in Jammu and Kashmir you have branded ordinary people as militants. You have filled the jails by carrying out (indiscriminate) arrests. The Enforcement Directorate, NIA, SIA raids .... does anyone treat their own people like this?” she asked.


“Learn something from Mufti sahib ... he tried to connect the hearts of people. He gave a way to separatists also so that they can live within this country with dignity. Mufti never said a wrong thing.... he always held on to one flag only.. but he only said the people of Jammu and Kashmir want peace with dignity,” she added
