Overview

  • Mehbooba Mufti formally wrote to Rahul Gandhi on July 21 requesting that he raise Muslim victimisation issues during the opening of the Monsoon Session.
  • The PDP president cited incidents including the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor in Jammu & Kashmir and forced displacements in Assam and Bihar as evidence of state-backed targeting.
  • She highlighted large-scale demolitions of Muslim homes and the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar as instruments of collective punishment.
  • Mufti framed her appeal as a test of Congress’s secular legacy and emphasized the party’s duty to defend Muslims who chose to remain in India after Partition.
  • Members of the INDIA bloc are gearing up to bring these concerns into parliamentary debate, though Rahul Gandhi’s public response and concrete action plan remain pending.
