“Where are the MPs of J&K who should be raising their voices as such attacks become routine?” Mehbooba questioned, targeting both the National Conference and the BJP, which have MPs from the region.
Mufti accused certain state governments of abandoning ‘Raj Dharma’ and providing “silent patronage to mob violence” for political gains. “Treating hatred as a shortcut to political success… The rule of law has been replaced by politics of fear,” she stated in her post. (KNS)
