Tasaduk Hussain Mufti Appears Before ED In New Delhi

Tasaduk Hussain Mufti appears before ED in a money laundering case.

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s brother Tasaduk Hussain Mufti on Thursday appeared before the ED in New Delhi for questioning in a money laundering case.

Tassaduq was the tourism minister in Mehbooba’s cabinet. He recorded his statement under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

According to officials, the probe pertains to money allegedly received from certain businesses in Kashmir when Mehbooba Mufti was the chief minister of the then state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has already questioned Mehbooba in this case. A day earlier, Mehbooba had said that summoning her brother was nothing but political vendetta.

Whenever she raises her voice against some wrong action, then any member of her family gets summoned.

This time brother has got the summons. Mehbooba said that she is protesting against the encounter in Hyderpora.

Police denied Mehbooba’s detention: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday alleged that she was again under house arrest, but the police have categorically denied Mehbooba’s allegation.

According to the police, he was only stopped from going to the press enclave. While Mehbooba also alleged that her party leaders Suhail Bukhari and Najam Saqib have been arrested.

Mehbooba had tweeted that the manner in which innocent citizens are being used as human shields and then denied the right to bury, shows that the central government is setting a new example of inhumanity.

Azad said – If the central government had already withdrawn the agricultural law, many lives would have been saved.

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s withdrawal of three agriculture laws.

Along with this, he also said that if the government had withdrawn these agricultural laws earlier, then the lives of hundreds of farmers could have been saved.

Azad said that in the future the government will also think about making laws against the interests of the people.

Talking to reporters at his residence in Jammu, Azad said that when the central government had made three agriculture laws, all had asked them not to pass them during the discussion in Parliament.

But the government stuck to its insistence. Azad said that if the people for whom we make it legal, if they don’t like the law, then what is the use of such laws.

Many farmers, who have been agitating for more than a year due to the government’s enactment of three laws.

Many farmers lost their lives while many had to spend days on the roads away from their families amidst the scorching heat and cold. It would have been better if the government had not passed such laws.
