Mehbooba Mufti Criticizes Omar Abdullah Over US Envoy's Jammu and Kashmir VisitPreviousNext

Mehbooba Mufti criticized Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his response to U.S. envoy Sergio Gor's visit to Jammu and Kashmir, questioning why local concerns like jailed Kashmiris and broader Muslim world issues were not raised. Mufti contrasted diplomatic visits before and after 2019, alleging earlier engagements included diverse local voices, while recent visits are more controlled. She also expressed that New Delhi has diminished Abdullah's political stature, reflecting dissatisfaction with both local and central leadership approaches.
