Srinagar, Nov 28: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Friday condemned the demolition of a journalist’s house in Jammu, accusing the National Conference (NC)-led administration of enabling such actions by rejecting her party’s “anti-bulldozer” bill in the assembly.
Mufti said the Union Territory was now witnessing the “brutal consequences” of that decision. “This isn’t UP where targeting minorities has become routine. This is Jammu & Kashmir, where Arfaz, a journalist who built his home 40 years ago on 3 marlas of land, saw it reduced to rubble within seconds,” she wrote on X.
Her remarks came after the Jammu Development Authority carried out an anti-encroachment drive in the city’s Transport Nagar area on Thursday, during which several allegedly illegal structures—including the house of journalist Arfaz Ahmad—were demolished.
