Mehbooba Mufti News

Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti condemned the international community's silence on Israel's actions against Iran, drawing parallels to Ukraine. Abdullah also extended condolences for an Ahmedabad plane crash.

Mehbooba Mufti said that in the heart of Kashmir, the Amarnath Yatra is more than a pilgrimage; it's a powerful symbol of resilience, unity, and unwavering faith.

Mehbooba Mufti meets LG Manoj Sinha, advocates for Kashmiri Pandits' reservation, dignified return and release of Kashmiris from jails.

Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti clashed over the Indus Waters Treaty and Tulbul project, with Abdullah calling the treaty unjust and Mufti warning against provoking tensions amid fragile peace.

The PDP president called Abdullah's remarks both "misleading" and "dangerous," especially at a time when students and traders from Jammu and Kashmir are vulnerable and at risk of retaliation following the Pahalgam incident, which left the nation grieving and outraged.

Mufti urged the government to direct security forces and authorities to adopt targeted, evidence-based operations that prioritize the protection of human rights and the dignity of civilians. 

Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti led a protest in Srinagar against the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. She expressed solidarity with victims, as a nationwide mourning continue.  

The PDP chief accused the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister of endorsing a “divisive agenda” by warmly welcoming Union Minister Kiren Rijiju to the region, just days after the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed in Parliament.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti criticised the NC government for focusing on bureaucratic issues instead of addressing critical concerns like youth incarceration, unemployment, and employee terminations, urging them to prioritise people's real problems.

Mufti asserted that for the past decade, Muslims in India have faced increasing persecution, including the demolition of mosques, lynching incidents, and encroachments on graveyards. She attributed these actions to the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), urging the Hindu majority to take a stand against such injustices.

Mehbooba Mufti criticised NC for legitimizing BJP's policies, including Article 370 abrogation, and urged political unity to address issues like daily wagers and property rights.

While speaking at a party function, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti urged the BJP to come down from its “high horse” and acknowledge that the situation in J&K is not as normal as it appears.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah stated that he had taken up these incidents with the Union Government and insisted that the inquiries be conducted in a time-bound, transparent manner.

Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti criticized the decision, accusing the government of targeting officials who expose corruption.

 Among the officers removed is Waheed Ahmad Shah, who was leading a critical investigation into alleged corruption within the Srinagar Smart City Limited project.

Mehbooba Mufti paid tribute to Vajpayee, highlighting his leadership in Jammu and Kashmir and his efforts towards peace with Pakistan.

Speaking to reporters here, Mufti said the people of J-K, especially the youth, voted for the National Conference (NC) in large numbers in the assembly polls so that there would be rationalization in the reservation and nobody's rights would be snatched.

Mehbooba Mufti called on the Omar Abdullah-led government to take a firm stand on the issue, as it falls under their jurisdiction. 

Mufti accused the government of promoting division and targeting minorities, claiming that such actions could lead the country back to conditions reminiscent of the partition era.
