On October 13 that the Jammu and Kashmir administration revoked the detention of the former Chief Minister after over 14 months since the Centre abrogated the former state’s special status on August 5, 2019.

Following her release, her party formed an alliance with other political outfits of Kashmir, including the National Conference and the Congress, to oppose the state’s loss of special status and to form a stronger alliance against the BJP-led central government.

Over the past two days, authorities in various states have allegedly placed restrictions on the movement of leaders such as former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This is happening at a time when farmers have been protesting against some central agricultural ordinances. In Mr Kejriwal’s case, though, the police have denied placing any restrictions.
