Meanwhile PDP president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti termed the detention of party leaders as “lawlessness” .
“Total lawlessness as PDPs Sartaj Madni & Mansoor Hussain have been arbitrarily detained today on the eve of DDC election results. Every senior police officer here is clueless as it is ‘upar say order’. No rule of law in J&K anymore. It is out & out Gunda Raj,” Mehbooba Mufti said in a tweet. (KNS)
