The Directorate General of Enforcement (ED) summoned the mother of the former Jammu and Kashmiri minister and chairman of the People's Democratic Party Mehbooba Mufti on Friday in a money laundering case. This comes a day after Ms Mufti wore a black bandage and led a street protest in Srinagar against the revocation of J&K special status on August 5, 2019.
In the summons, Gulshan Nazir, wife of the late Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, was requested to appear before the ED office in Srinagar on August 8 in a case registered under the 2002 Money Laundering Act.
“It is no coincidence that my aged grandmother receives ED summons every time the PDP registers a protest against the government’s iron-hand approach towards J&K and its people. There is a pattern. The last time she got a notice was when the PDP decided to boycott the Delimitation Commission meeting,” Ms Mufti’s daughter Iltija Mufti
She said she was aware of the government's idea of confidence-building measures (CBM) to get rid of [heart] and Dilli ki doori ”is to fire helpless Kashmiri employees on frivolous land and set up the Gestapo as verification rules for locals if they want a passport or government job.
