Former J&K CM and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday met party leaders at her residence a day after she was released from preventive detention. Mufti was released after being in preventive detention for more than 14 months following the abrogation of Article 370 last year. Mehbooba, who became the first woman chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir in 2016 as head of the PDP-BJP alliance, was arrested along with other leaders hours ahead of the Centre bifurcating the state into two union territories and abrogating Article 370. Initially, Mehbooba was lodged at Cheshma Shahi guest house and then shifted to another government guest house at M A Link Road in Srinagar. She was later put under house arrest.
