J&K authorities on Thursday placed several leaders under house arrest in Kashmir, disallowing them from visiting the residence of Prof Abdul Gani Bhat in Sopore after the former Hurriyat chairman passed away the previous evening.Family members said the authorities placed restrictions in Bhat’s native village of Botingoo in Sopore. “We buried him around 11:30 pm and only a couple of thousand people from the village could participate as they placed restrictions around the village and allowed no one to enter the village,” Bhat’s son Jehangir Bhat told ET. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said she was put under house arrest. Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Farooq condemned the denial of the people’s right to join Bhat’s final journey. “Bhat’s legacy will endure as that of a scholar-statesman,” he said. PC chief Sajad Lone also said that he was not allowed to travel to Sopore.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
