• BJP MP Ghulam Ali Khatana said Mehbooba Mufti is seeking headlines to keep the PDP afloat after being sidelined by the public.
• BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh argued that India's Gen Z is working to make the country Aatmanirbhar and Viksit and defended the government's economic record.
• In posts on X, Mufti said Gen Z from Uttarakhand to Ladakh and across the border in Kashmir is rising because the system has failed their hopes and aspirations.
• She also shared videos of 'Azadi' demonstrations that she described as a wake-up call for both India and Pakistan.
• The back-and-forth remains rhetorical with no policy steps announced, and it comes as the PDP has fallen to three Assembly seats in 2024 from 28 in 2014.
