In a stark critique, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti has challenged the Jammu and Kashmir government under Omar Abdullah for staying silent on allegations of young boys being detained in various districts. This comes in the aftermath of the tragic killing of ex-serviceman Manzoor Ahmad Wagay.
Mufti voiced her concerns about the administration's silence on these detentions occurring in Kulgam, Budgam, and Ganderbal. She questioned the ruling National Conference's commitment to addressing these issues, emphasizing the need for them to speak up given their parliamentary majority.
Adding to the rising tensions, BJP leader Ravinder Raina condemned Wagay's assassination, stressing the threat to regional stability.
