Srinagar, December 10: As the voting is currently underway for the fifth phase of the District Development Council (DDC) elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President and formed Chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has accuses armed forces of being used to ‘rig’ election and ‘favour a particular party’  

“Security forces have cordoned Matribugh in Shopian and are not allowing people to come out to vote under the pretext of inputs about presence of militants,” the PDP chief alleged on Thursday morning in a tweet.

“In a brazen display of power, armed forces are being used to rig this election & favour a particular party “.
