As Article 370 Abrogation completes 4 years, a few key steps have been taken by the centre government for security reasons. Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief and Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir – Mehbooba Mufti have been put to house arrest. In addition to this Amarnath yatra has been suspended for a day.
The former Chief Minister wrote, “I’ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOIs false claims about normalcy to the SC stands exposed by theirs actions driven by paranoia.”
Along with them, PDP General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura was also placed under house arrest. In a tweet, he wrote, “Placed under house arrest & my family also not being allowed to move out. As countless PDP workers have been rounded up by the police, it’s ironic how they themselves puncture their “normalcy” ballon. 5 Aug is a black day, a day when our constitutional rights were snatched!”

According to the report, the government’s decision was spurred by intelligence reports that suggested a terrorist attack during the yatra could occur. The announcement of the yatra’s one-day suspension was also confirmed by Jammy Deputy Commissioner Avny Lavasa.
