Developments: 2. Mehbooba Mufti, President of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticized the ruling National Conference (NC) and the central government regarding the political climate in Jammu and Kashmir. Mufti accused the NC of fueling mistrust between the Union Territory and the Centre, alleging that the party leadership abandoned demands for autonomy and was responsible for past suffering during periods of militancy. She further criticized the central government for what she described as growing suspicion toward Kashmiris, citing the harassment of young people, the removal of Kashmiri officers from service, and the eviction of tribal communities. Mufti urged the Centre to engage in dialogue rather than relying on coercive measures to project peace. Following her unanimous re-election to a fifth term as PDP President, Mufti cautioned the central government against mistaking the current silence in the region for genuine peace. She called for an end to daily raids and the harassment of families, while advocating for the release of individuals held as undertrials without due process. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-05: Mehbooba Mufti re-elected as PDP President Mehbooba Mufti has been re-elected as PDP President for a fifth term, while calling on the Centre to trust the people of Jammu and Kashmir and address regional grievances. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mehbooba-mufti-re-elected-as-pdp-president ### 2026-11-02: Mehbooba Mufti accuses National Conference of fueling mistrust in Kashmir PDP President Mehbooba Mufti accused the National Conference of creating mistrust between Kashmiris and the Centre, alleging the party abandoned autonomy demands and used renegade militants during militancy. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mehbooba-mufti-accuses-national-conference-of-fueling-mistrust-in-kashmir --- Cite as: Jammu and Kashmir political tensions.
