Watch: Srinagar's PDP, NC Candidates Speak of Suffocation, Silence and the 'Raid Raj'

Candidates from two opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir, Waheed Parra of the People’s Democratic Party and Aga Ruhullah of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference tell The Wire’s Arfa Khanum Sherwani of the atmosphere of ‘suffocation’ in place since 2019 in Kashmir.

Keywords like ‘intimidation,’ ‘UAPA’ and ‘oppression’ rule public life in the region, leading to a fear psychosis, say the candidates.
