Mehbooba Mufti accuses National Conference of fueling mistrust in Kashmir

Mehbooba Mufti Peoples Democratic Party National Conference Jammu and Kashmir Kashmir politics

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has accused the ruling National Conference (NC) of creating mistrust between the people of the Union Territory and the Centre. Speaking at a PDP Foundation Day convention in Srinagar, Mufti criticized recent contradictory statements made by NC President Farooq Abdullah regarding Pakistan and India.

Mufti alleged that the NC leadership abandoned the demand for autonomy and claimed the party was responsible for Kashmiri suffering during years of militancy, specifically alleging the use of ‘Ikhwanis’ (renegade militants) against the population. She also criticized the Centre for what she described as growing suspicion toward Kashmiris, alleging that young people are being beaten, Kashmiri officers are being removed from service, and tribal communities are being evicted.

Mufti urged the central government to initiate dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir rather than attempting to project peace through coercive measures. She warned against attempts to alter the identity of the region and called for a political environment based on trust, accountability, and respect.
