Mufti accused Home Minister Amit Shah of dismantling the PDP by coercing legislators, ministers, and parliamentarians to defect, thereby silencing the party’s dissenting voice. She highlighted the establishment of new political entities post the abrogation of Article 370, suggesting a ploy by the Centre to manipulate parliamentary representation.

Mufti’s Call for Voter Reflection and Historical Context

Reflecting on the historical context, Mufti recalled Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s assurance of free and fair elections in Jammu and Kashmir, stressing the hard-earned trust in the power of the vote. Despite challenges, she urged the people to recognize the value of their votes amidst mounting suppression tactics.
