While speaking to the media during a political rally, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti threw an open challenge to her rival and counterpart from NC, Omar Abdullah. When appreciated over masses of youth attending her political campaigns ahead of the assembly elections, Mufti replied, “The youth from all corners understands that PDP is the only political party that has always taken care of the youth and shown its concern towards them. It is the only party that has pulled the youth out of arms and terror.”

Mehbooba Mufti challenged Omar

She further said, “Today I challenge Omar sahab (Omar Abdullah), you during your tenure got thousands of FIRs lodged against youngsters. I, Mehbooba Mufti, joined hands with the BJP government and withdrew 12,000 FIRs. If you have the courage, I dare you to show me the withdrawal of a single FIR.”

Highlighting the stringent steps she took during her coalition government with the BJP, Mufti said, “During my governance, in the Rasana case, not only did I drop two ministers but also made sure a lifetime imprisonment to eight. Among those ministers is one for whom NC leaders go to advocate. If you have courage, speak against that former minister.”

PDP chief refuses to comment on Azad’s remarks

Reacting to Ghulam Nabi Azad’s statement in which he said that no mosque has been demolished, no land has been confiscated, the senior leaders are misguiding the people of Kashmir, Mufti said, “Ghulam Nabi Azad sahab earlier said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir were Hindus long before, so what do I say to his statement?”

She was defeated by NC’s Mian Altaf Ahmad by around three lakh votes from the Anantnag-Rajouri constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. She decided not to contest in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls. Her daughter Iltija Mufti is making her political debut in Bijbehara, the bastion of the Muftis.
