Mehbooba said this on her Twitter handle and also posted pictures of the locked gate of her Srinagar residence and also a police vehicle parked to block entry of her house.
The blockade on Internet and voice calling services was imposed in Kashmir as a precautionary measure after the death of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Wednesday night.
Mehbooba tweeted; “Booking Geelani Sahab’s family under UAPA shows GOI’s deep rooted paranoia & ruthlessness. This is New India’s Naya Kashmir”.
The incident happened on the night of 2 September when Geelani died at his residence in Srinagar.
The streets were mostly deserted but private vehicles could be seen moving on the streets. Mobile internet services remained snapped as a precautionary measure.
Announcing this, IGP (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar thanked for public’s cooperation in maintaining law & order.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, his ministerial colleagues and the official Twitter account of the Pakistan Government have after the death of Geelani on Wednesday night been posting on twitter video clips of his anti-India speeches in order to exploit the situation.
Restrictions have been ordered across the valley to thwart violence.
Amid tight security, the 92 years old Geelani was laid to rest in a cemetery at a mosque near his Hyderpura residence in the outskirts of Srinagar at about 3.30 am in the presence of his close relatives and top police officers, sources said.
Geelani had, since his youth, been a prominent member of the Jamaat-e-Islami. He had always stood for the merger of J&K with Pakistan.
