PDP Leaders Questioned Over Police Assault Allegations During Article 370 Protest
PDP leader Iltija Mufti was summoned and questioned by police in Srinagar over an FIR alleging assault on a police officer during a protest marking the seventh anniversary of Article 370's abrogation. The FIR names both Iltija and her mother, Mehbooba Mufti, who claim the charges are politically motivated attempts to silence dissent. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah dismissed the FIR as a 'fixed match' aimed at restoring PDP's credibility. The party vows to continue its peaceful struggle for Article 370's restoration despite legal actions.
