Mehbooba Mufti's’ mother summoned by the E.D. after PDP refuses to participate in delimitation talks
The HinduThe Enforcement Directorate on July 6 summoned Gulshan Ara, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s mother. Mehbooba Mufti alleged that the E.D’s move, which came shortly after her Peoples Democratic Party refused to participate in the ongoing delimitation exercise, is part of the vendetta politics of the Centre. On July 6, the delimitation commission, headed by former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, arrived in Srinagar to hold talks over four days with various stakeholders on the ongoing process of carving out new constituencies in the region. On June 24, Mehbooba Mufti was a part of a delegation of political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
