Srinagar, Feb 7,: Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party President, Mehbooba Mufti Monday said that democracy is dead and nobody is allowed to speak his heart in Jammu and Kashmir.

In response to a question, Mehbooba Mufti as per news agency Kashmir News Trust said that ‘hijab’ row is nothing but an attempt and conspiracy to keep Muslim children away from education.
Mehbooba Mufti told reporters that BJP led government wants to change the narrative and is trying to give an impression that all is well in Jammu and Kashmir.
To a question, Mehbooba Mufti said that there is a conspiracy to disempower the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “What outside investment will mean to people when they are not being allowed to talk and are disempowered,” she said adding that Kashmir is boiling. (KNT)
