Srinagar:Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has condemned the attacks on Kashmiris outside Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, stating that Indian state governments are shielding perpetrators.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mufti tweeted, reacting to a video showing an elderly Kashmiri man being harassed in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur:
\n“The rule of law has been replaced by politics of fear” .<\/p>\n

Mufti criticized IIOJK MLAs and MPs for their silence, saying, “Where are the MPs of J&K who should be raising their voices as such attacks become routine?” She referenced a recent incident in Uttarakhand where a young Kashmiri, Tabish, was brutally assaulted.<\/p>\n

The issue sparked debate in the IIOJK Assembly, with legislators demanding New Delhi’s intervention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
