Srinagar, April 9: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday lashed out at CM Omar Abdullah for laying out red carpet for union minister Kiren Rijiju in Srinagar.
In her post on X , she wrote, “
“After bulldozing the Waqf Amendment Bill through Parliament, Minister Kiran Rijiju strategically chose to visit Kashmir. He was given red carpet welcome by the Chief Minister of India’s only Muslim majority state – a move that seemed designed & deliberate to signal to the 24 crore Muslims across India that their views hold little weight when the leader of the country’s only Muslim-majority region stands in support. The visit set against the backdrop of Asia’s largest tulip garden felt like a public celebration of the community’s marginalisation & disempowerment. The Chief Minister’s actions not only deepened the sense of alienation and helplessness within the Muslim community but also lent legitimacy to this unilateral decision widely perceived as dismissive of their interests. With today possibly marking the end of this assembly session the ruling alliance should prioritize passing a resolution to reject this bill rather than prolonging the political spectacle”
