Srinagar: Dubbing the attack on JNU student leader Umar Khalid as “a mockery of our democracy”, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Monday asserted that the attempts to muzzle voices just because their views were not in alignment with somebody else’s was “absolutely wrong”.
Mehbooba twitted, “In a democratic country like ours, it is perfectly alright to agree to disagree. But attempts to silence an individual and muzzle voices just because their views are not in alignment with somebody else’s is absolutely wrong.”
Mehbooba slammed media for projecting Khalid as “anti-national” and blamed a section of the media for playing a “sinister role in whipping up a public frenzy”.
