If police want to arrest me for my work, let them: Mehbooba

After being re-elected as president of the PDP, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that “if the police want to arrest me for my work, let them.”

"Let the IGP Kashmir do his duty. I will do my job the way I am doing. If the police want to arrest me for what I am doing, so be it,” she told reporters at her posh Gupkar residence.

Interestingly, in his recent presser, Inspector General Police (IGP) Kashmir, Vijay Kumar, without naming anybody said that some political leaders were instigating people by spreading false rumours. He said that police won’t hesitate in preparing a dossier and if needed, action would also be taken against such politicians.

Responding to the police chief’s warning, the PDP president said that she continues to strive hard to take forward her father late Mufti Muhammad Sayed’s mission and vision.

“I want to see the end to the sufferings of people that include denial of the body of a slain son to his father. I won’t allow Kashmir to become a ring of war for India and Pakistan and instead, Kashmir should become a bridge of peace between the two nations,” Mehbooba asserted.

"Dialogue is the best way to resolve issues," she reiterated.
