NC’s fight in Anantnag is not against BJP since Mehbooba’s party no longer a friend: Omar
Omar was ostensibly referring to Mehbooba Mufti who has filed her nomination for the seat as PDP candidate against NC’s Gujjar spiritual leader Mian Altaf.
Omar was ostensibly referring to Mehbooba Mufti who has filed her nomination for the seat as PDP candidate against NC’s Gujjar spiritual leader Mian Altaf.
Mehbooba was taking part in a roadshow in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam area during her election campaign.
She said the PDP became the “biggest target” after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and its leaders were either “lured or blackmailed” to break away from it
The NC had unilaterally announced that it would field its candidates on all the three seats and fielded Mian Altaf from Anantnag. The NC had left two seats in Jammu for the Congress as part of the INDIA bloc's seat-sharing agreement.
Mehbooba was responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement wherein he said that the dynastic parties that did not let J&K develop should be wiped out in the Lok Sabha elections.
After her release, Mehbooba Mufti tweeted an audio message in which she said she will continue her struggle for the restoration of Article 370 and the resolution of the Kashmir issue. She also said that the Centre’s decision of abrogation of Article 370 was a ‘black day’.
The apex court’s response came while hearing her daughter's petition challenging the former Chief Minister's detention under the stringent Public Safety Act.
Mehbooba Mufti and her husband are not living together. They have two daughters named-- Iltija and Irtiqa.
Signatures of bureaucrat turned politician, Shah Faesal of PUF, are conspicuously missing in Saturday’s joint statement amidst speculations of his returning to the administration.
For a long-term settlement of the multi-dimensional Kashmir conflict what is required is restoration of normalcy and resumption of the political process through reduction in the trust-deficit, without which no significant economic development will be possible. Release of political leaders and dialogue with all stakeholders with the intention of ameliorating their genuine grievances are necessary steps towards that end
