“On the day PDP chose not to meet Delimitation Commission, ED sent a summon to my mother to appear in person for unknown charges. In its attempts to intimidate political opponents,GOI doesn’t even spare senior citizens. Agencies like NIA & ED are now its tools to settle scores,” she tweeted.

This comes as the PDP had earlier while citing its disappointment with the lack of any outcome following the all-party meeting with Prime Minister Modi on June 24 decided not to be a part of the delimitation process in Jammu and Kashmir.

The party has written to Delimitation Commission chief Justice (Retd.) Ranjana Prakash Desai in this regard.

The PDP in its letter stated they won’t be part of the exercise, which they believed was “pre-planned” aimed at disempowering the people of Jammu and Kashmir and realising the “political vision of a particular political party”.
