Srinagar, July 7: Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) Wednesday said that it strongly condemned the issuance of summon to late chief minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed’s widow and demanded that such vindictive measures must be put to an end immediately.

“The summoning of widow of former Union Home Minister, late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is highly humiliating and there are not enough words to condemn such coercive acts,” PAGD said in a statement.

“She is an old and frail lady and summoning her is nothing but pressure tactics of the government. Irony is that the summon was issued just hours after the PDP declined to meet the visiting Delimitation Commission.”

“Muzzling the voices of dissent by using probe agencies against political opponents is unacceptable. This is nothing but part of vindictive policies to suppress dissent and disagreement and to silence the genuine demand for the reversal of unilateral and unconstitutional decisions of August 5, 2019.”
