Two PSOs of Iltija suspended : Mehbooba

Two PSOs of Iltija suspended : Mehbooba

Srinagar, Feb 10 (UNI) Two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) deployed with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti have been suspended, party President Mehbooba Mufti said on Monday.
Criticizing the move, Mehbooba called it "ironic and unfair."
"Ironic and unfair that Iltija's two PSOs have been suspended for no fault of their own. They were punished simply because Iltija managed to reach Kathua despite being confined to her home like a criminal, "Mebooba said in a post on X.
The former Chief Minister also questioned the lack of action against those responsible for the deaths of Waseem Mir in Sopore and Makhan Din in Bilawar.
"Meanwhile, there has been no reported action against those responsible for the deaths of Waseem Mir in Sopore or Makhan Din in Bilawar," Mehbooba said.
The PDP chief also hit out ruling National Conference for remaining a silent spectator, effectively legitimizing such actions.
"The ruling NC government, which came to power promising to ensure security and dignity for the people, remains a silent observer . They thus are not only shirking from their responsibility but also thereby normalizing these unjust and abnormal actions, " Mehbooba added.
