Overview
- The PDP chief urged the prime minister, home minister and national security advisor to reassess the Centre’s Jammu and Kashmir approach and open a reconciliation process.
- She argued that post-2019 policies have failed, citing the November 10 Red Fort car bombing in Delhi in which at least 12 people were killed and a Kashmiri doctor was identified as the driver.
- At a PDP-organised youth conference in Srinagar, students, undertrials and relatives of militants shared accounts alleging arrests without warrants, raids, humiliation and withheld passports.
- The National Investigation Agency continues to probe the Red Fort attack and has arrested multiple suspects, including two Kashmiri doctors linked by authorities to a white-collar terror network.
- Mufti said Kashmiris seek dignity rather than coercion under laws such as UAPA and PSA, and announced plans for further dialogues across districts and in other parts of the country.
