SRINAGAR: Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti was barred by the authorities from holding a press conference at her residence in Srinagar on Friday. A large number of policemen were deployed outside her residence. The media people were not allowed by the police to enter her residence for attending the press conference. Earlier on Friday, Mehbooba Mufti had alleged that she was detained and stopped from visiting the residence of party leader Waheed Parra, who was arrested by the NIA on Wednesday. Accusing the administration of bias, Mehbooba alleged that she was prevented from meeting Parra's family on the pretext of security, while the BJP leaders and Union Ministers were allowed to travel across Kashmir. "I have been illegally detained yet again. Since two days, J&K admin has refused to allow me to visit Waheed Parra's family in Pulwama."(IANS)
