Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday issued quite a lot of tweets slamming the Centre for the arrest of her occasion’s youth chief Waheed Para.
Para, PDP’s youth wing president and a former cupboard minister, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Delhi after two days of questioning on Wednesday. He had not too long ago filed his nomination for the upcoming District Development Council (DDC) elections from Pulwama in South Kashmir.
In a press release, an NIA spokesperson mentioned, “Today NIA arrested Waheed Ur Rehman Parra, the youth wing chief of People’s Democratic Party, in reference to the Naveed Babu-Davinder Singh case for supporting Hizbul Mujahideen in conspiracy with the opposite accused individuals.”
Mufti in her tweets shared a clip in which the then Home Minister Rajnath Singh could be seen praising the contribution of Para as secretary of J&K sports council. This clip is from the time when PDP was in alliance with the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir.
In another tweet, Mufti said, “Waheed was illegally arrested for greater than a yr in 2019. Yet his perception in democracy didn’t waver & he selected to contest DDC elections. Seems like those that place their religion within the energy of democracy will earn the wrath of a hostile & communal authorities.”
Para is considered to be close to Mufti and is said to have a following among the youth of the Valley. Even after the BJP broke its alliance with the PDP and several of the latter’s senior leaders quit, Para was one of the visible faces of the party who vocally rallied support and stood by Mufti.
In another tweet, Mufti said she could “personally vouch for Waheed’s integrity, honesty & character. Its upto the judiciary now to dispense justice & guarantee @parawahid is launched at the earliest”.
