Repression Centre's only method to deal with J&K situation: Mehbooba slams CDS Rawat's remarks on curbs

India TV News  

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday charged that “repression” was the Centre's only method to deal with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Reacting to the remarks by Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat warning of further curbs in Kashmir to tackle the recent violence, Mehbooba also said his statement “contradicts” the official narrative that all is well in the valley. “Even after turning Kashmir into an open-air prison, Bipin Rawat's statement comes as no surprise because repression is GOIs only method to deal with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. “After taking such stringent, harsh & repressive measures like mass arrests, suspension of internet at will, frisking people, seizing bikes plus two wheelers & setting up new security bunkers all over what is left to do?” the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
