"Where Does One Go When Judiciary Wash Hands Off...": Mehbooba Mufti

"Under BJP's rule, Indian constitution is being undermined time & again. Only option & recourse left is the judiciary. Once they too decide to wash their hands off matters which involve our fundamental rights where does one go?" Mehbooba Mufti wrote on Twitter.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday asked where does a person go when the judiciary, the only recourse left, "wash their hands off" matters involving fundamental rights. "Under BJP's rule, Indian constitution is being undermined time & again. Only option & recourse left is the judiciary. Once they too decide to wash their hands off matters which involve our fundamental rights where does one go?" Ms Mehbooba wrote on Twitter. The PDP chief's remarks came after the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Monday dismissed her petition seeking direction to passport authority for issuing a passport in her favour. In a letter to Ms Mufti, the Regional Passport Office here on March 26 rejected the application for her passport based on an "adverse" police verification report.
