Mehbooba Mufti Champions PDP Against BJP Agenda in Jammu and Kashmir

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti claims her PDP is the sole party capable of opposing the BJP's actions affecting the Union Territory's identity, resources, and jobs. She reflects on the PDP's past achievements and critiques the BJP's job promises while advocating for the release of jailed individuals.

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti stated that her People's Democratic Party (PDP) remains the only political entity capable of resisting the BJP's alleged undermining of the Union Territory's identity, resources, and employment opportunities.

Reflecting on the PDP's tenure in power, Mufti highlighted the party's efforts to uplift the people of south Kashmir during challenging times marked by the enforcement of POTA and the activities of the Special Task Force. She emphasized that the current challenge for the PDP is to surpass its previous developmental achievements in the region.

In response to questions regarding the release of MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid on interim bail, Mufti expressed hope for the release of other incarcerated youths. Additionally, she criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah's promises of new jobs, labeling the BJP's employment claims as deceitful based on their previous unmet job creation promises.
