She said there is no agenda for the APM. "We were not told about any agenda. However, we are clear in our agenda to seek restoration of what has been snatched from us," she said.

Mehbooba Mufti said during the past two years people of IIOJK suffered the most as anyone who was raising the voice against injustice was being detained and booked under different laws.

Even journalists were not spared for writing truth, she said.
