Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti has criticized the BJP-led Indian government for \u201cembracing\u201d Taliban-ruled Afghanistan while simultaneously targeting Muslims within India, calling it a stark reminder of the party\u2019s \u201cinternal hypocrisy.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, her remarks came as India decided to upgrade its ties with Afghanistan amid the visit of Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to New Delhi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the name of \u2018Love Jihad,\u2019 \u2018Land Jihad,\u2019 \u2018Vote Jihad\u2019 and \u2018Cow Jihad,\u2019 the BJP has repeatedly targeted its own Muslim population, propagating narratives that demonize them. At the same time, India, the so-called mother of democracy, has chosen to embrace the Taliban \u2014 the harbinger of jihad,\u201d Mehbooba wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that India has offered various forms of aid to Afghanistan, including educational scholarships for Afghan students, while at home the BJP has withdrawn scholarships for Muslim students and closed madrasas. \u201cThis is a stark reminder of the BJP\u2019s internal hypocrisy,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n

The PDP chief said that while maintaining international relationships is important, a nation\u2019s true stability depends on fostering trust, respect, and equality among its own citizens, especially minorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHope Bulldozer Baba is listening!\u201d she added, in an apparent jibe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
