The Congress President was arrested on Tuesday morning by the Congress President GA Mir, who is visiting various districts of Jammu and Kashmir. The police guarded all the houses and did not let them go out. For the second time after the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, the prominent leaders of the State Congress have been placed under house arrest. The party has strongly opposed this. He says that the BJP is trying to suppress the voice of Congress leaders, the main opposition party going among the people.

On Tuesday morning, the police also detained State President Mir along with former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, Deputy Prime Minister Raman Bhalla and State President Uday Chib of Youth Congress in the morning. Bhalla said that opposition leaders are being put under house arrest at the behest of the BJP government.

The party's chief spokesperson Ravindra Sharma said that an eight-member party of the state Congress was going to visit some areas of Kashmir after Jammu, Udhampur, Batot, Ramban and Banihal under the leadership of State President GA Mir. It was to meet party workers and leaders.

Ravindra Sharma said that he was sought permission from the administration after informing him about this visit last day. But on Tuesday morning, the police put all key party leaders under house arrest. The government is making claims of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir, while other parties other than BJP are not allowed to do political activities.
