Why Mehbooba Mufti politicizing Amarnath Yatra | Seedha Sawal

"Amarnath Yatra is taking place for years. But unfortunately, the arrangements done this year are against the people of Kashmir. It's causing a lot of trouble in the day-to-day lives of local people. I would like to request the Governor to intervene in this," the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister told reporters on July 7.

 

Denouncing the government's restriction on the use of Jammu-Srinagar highway by civilians during Amarnath Yatra, she said, "This Yatra signifies brotherhood. This year the arrangements are done to irk locals. They cannot use the highways, even in an emergency they are forced to wait for pilgrims to pass."
