Srinagar, Jan 7 KNS: Authorities on Tuesday stopped Peoples Democratic Party MP Fayaz Ahmed Mir from visiting Mausoleum of Mufti Sayeed on his fourth death anniversary.
Terming the move against the spirits of democracy, Mir said they had to visit the party founder Mufti’s grave for paying him rich tributes not to do any politics.
He said Mufti was Home Minister of India besides holding the chair of Chief Minister of JK twice.
“Stopping people from paying tributes to their leader is unacceptable and condemnable,” he told KNS.
Paying rich tributes to Mufti Muhammad Sayeed on his death anniversary, Mir said it is impossible to fill political void created after his death.

He maintained that he is with PDP and saying this after analyzing the political mood of the state and people.
“After release of top NC, PDP leaders, big development will happen.”
Without naming anyone, he blamed some PDP party leaders for the fall of the party.

After PDP patrons death, there was no political grip in the party. Some leaders did wrong with people. Central govt didn’t ditch either Mufti or Mehbooba, his own people did wrong acts.
