Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti addresses a press conference, in Srinagar, Wednesday, July 12, 2023. (PTI Photo\/S. Irfan)(PTI07_12_2023_000115B)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is insecure and it is now policing the vocabulary of the Muslim community in India.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehbooba Mufti in a post on X, referring to the case of IPS officer Bushra Bano, who was transferred from her post of ASP in West Bengal\u2019s Kharagpur within just two-and-a-half months of taking charge, allegedly over her use of Muslim greetings in a video, said such incidents do not shock the minority community anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cBushra Bano\u2019s transfer for saying \u2018Assalamu Alaikum\u2019, \u2018InshaAllah\u2019 and \u2018JazakAllah\u2019, followed by the West Bengal Chief Minister (Suvendu Adhikari) calling an election a \u2018test\u2019 of Muslim loyalty, a veiled threat to the community as a whole, doesn\u2019t shock us anymore,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

UCC plan in 21 NDA-ruled states threatens constitutional rights of Muslims: Madani<\/a><\/p>\n

It is amusing that simple words invoking peace and blessings of God have rattled the big political party, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is rather amusing is that three simple words \u2013 \u2018peace be upon you\u2019, \u2018God willing\u2019, and \u2018God be praised\u2019 \u2013 can apparently rattle a party so large and powerful.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst our food, clothes and marriage, now even our vocabulary and our votes are being policed. Insecurity, thy name is BJP,\u201d Mehbooba said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
