Awami National Conference president Begum Khaleda Shah and senior vice president Muzaffar Shah also claimed that they were placed under house arrest before the PAGD protest.
PAGD spokesman Mohd Yusuf Tarigami said the police closed the doors of their compound around midnight.
“The gates were closed at midnight. “They have asked the security personnel and other staff (deployed in my premises) to inform me not to leave the premises,” Tarigami said, adding, “We held a peaceful protest today against the unconstitutional and divisive draft of the Delimitation Commission We had decided to protest. We wanted to register a peaceful protest.”
At a meeting in Jammu, the Gupkar alliance had announced a protest in Srinagar on January 1 against the draft resolution of the Delimitation Commission.
The PAGD had always maintained that the Commission’s report was not acceptable to them, as it did not take population as the basic criterion for awarding seats.
In its statement, the commission had said that apart from population, they have taken geographical area, road connectivity and public convenience as criteria.
The National Conference, being an associate member of the commission, lodged its objection to the draft report on Friday.
The PAGD rejected the draft resolution and called it “an act to divide people on the basis of religion”.
