The chief minister said the local media outlets have ignored the fact that the entire elected government and most representatives were put under house detention.

“The cowards have completely buried the fact that the entire elected government was locked up yesterday along with most elected representatives. The newspapers with some guts have put it on the front page. Shame on the sellouts who buried the story, I hope the size of the envelope was worth it,” he added.

Political leaders from all major parties except the BJP, on Sunday claimed that the LG administration on Sunday put them under house arrest to prevent them from paying tributes to the 22 people who fell to the bullets of forces of Maharaja Hari Singh in 1931. PTI MIJ DV DV
