Mehbooba Mufti Presses Farooq Abdullah for Clarity on Article 370 Allegations

The PDP leader has intensified criticism of the NC-led government, accusing it of governance failures and demanding explanations on claims from A.S. Dulat’s memoir about Farooq Abdullah's alleged support for the 2019 abrogation.

Overview

  • Mehbooba Mufti criticized the National Conference-led government for failing to deliver beyond basic services, likening its performance to the Lieutenant Governor's administration.
  • She accused the NC of aligning with the BJP agenda by avoiding debates on Article 370 and not opposing the Waqf Amendment Bill, which she claims hurt Muslim sentiments.
  • Mehbooba demanded that Farooq Abdullah clarify allegations from A.S. Dulat’s memoir, which suggests he privately supported the abrogation of Article 370 through the J&K Legislative Assembly.
  • She questioned the Abdullahs' August 3, 2019 meeting with Prime Minister Modi, calling for transparency on what transpired just days before the abrogation.
  • The National Conference has yet to issue a substantive public response to the allegations or Mehbooba’s demands for accountability.
