NC and AIP Criticize Mehbooba Mufti's Remarks on Kashmir and Delhi Protests
National Conference (NC) leaders have criticized former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for remarks perceived as justifying the use of force against Kashmiri protesters by citing militancy in the region. Mufti contrasted police actions in Delhi and Kashmir, condemning Delhi's crackdown while suggesting security measures in Kashmir were understandable due to militancy. The Awami Itihaad Party also called on Mufti to apologize for alleged repression during her tenure. Mufti's comments have sparked political debate over protest policing and civil liberties in Kashmir and Delhi.
