Srinagar: PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti was surprised and frustrated when she found out that her phone calls were suddenly suspended without any explanation. She had been trying to make calls since the morning but to no avail. It was an unexpected and unwelcome disturbance on the day of polling in the Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency.
Speaking to PTI, Mehbooba expressed her disappointment and confusion over the sudden suspension of her mobile services. For her, it was a cause for concern as she was currently contesting in the Lok Sabha elections for the Anantnag-Rajouri constituency and needed to be accessible to her team and supporters.
The PDP also raised the issue on social media, pointing out that this suspension occurred just before the polls. They mentioned that not only was Mehbooba's phone service cut off, but many PDP workers and polling agents were also detained in the polling belt. This added to the already tense and chaotic atmosphere.
In fact, the PDP had already brought up these detentions to the Election Commission in a letter written by Mehbooba the previous day. In the letter, she had expressed her concern over the sudden detainment of PDP workers and polling agents. According to her, these detentions were being carried out at the orders of the SSP Anantnag and DIG South Kashmir.
The situation was becoming increasingly worrisome for Mehbooba and her party, as they continued to face obstacles and interference during the polling process. They had reached out to the Election Commission, hoping for their timely intervention and resolution of these issues. However, as the day progressed, it seemed that their pleas were falling on deaf ears.
