Mehbooba Mufti's ‘forcibly mobilized’ charge on PM Modi's Srinagar rally
Mehbooba Mufti alleges in Srinagar rally: PM Modi's gathering is 'forcefully orchestrated,' expressing dissatisfaction with the situation post Article 370.
Amidst a sizable gathering at Srinagar's Bakshi Stadium for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti, the chief of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), voiced concerns on Thursday. She accused the government of compelling employees to attend the event, alleging a deliberate attempt to portray a false sense of normalcy in the valley. According to Mufti, this enforced participation suggests that people are being coerced into celebrating their disempowerment and humiliation, expressing disappointment with the situation post-2019.
In a comparative analysis, Mufti unfavourably contrasted the current scenario with past visits by former Prime Ministers Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Dr Manmohan Singh, particularly during the peak of insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. She nostalgically recalled how, during those visits, ordinary citizens enthusiastically attended the events, returning home with a sense of hope.
Mufti's remarks underscore a perceived shift in public sentiment and government tactics, suggesting a departure from the hopeful atmosphere experienced during earlier prime ministerial visits to the troubled region. The juxtaposition critiques the current administration's approach and the perceived impact on the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
