Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti criticized NSA Ajit Doval's remarks about seeking 'revenge for history,' calling them a communal dog whistle inciting violence against Muslims. Doval, speaking at a youth dialogue, stated that India must reclaim its past, referencing historical sacrifices and humiliations, and that 'revenge' is a powerful force to build a great India based on its own rights and beliefs. He acknowledged 'revenge' might not be ideal but emphasized its motivational power.
