Iltija Mufti

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah refuted claims of removing Urdu from revenue jobs, stating a proposal is under consideration for public feedback, not a final decision. He challenged the PDP to produce an order, accusing them of misrepresenting the process.

J&K Police have filed an FIR against individuals for promoting separatist ideology online after PDP's iltija mufti shared a video of late leader Syed Ali Geelani discussing the importance of Urdu. The police stated the content aimed to incite unlawful activities and undermine India's integrity. This action follows Mufti's protest against removing Urdu as a mandatory language.

iltija mufti, a PDP leader, protested the government's plan to remove Urdu knowledge as a requirement for Jammu and Kashmir Revenue Service jobs. She stated this move attacks the region's linguistic heritage. Mufti argued Urdu connects communities and is a repository of knowledge. She questioned the government's priorities and vowed to resist the changes.

BJP leaders condemned PDP leader iltija mufti's statement criticizing Hindutva as a "disease," calling it irresponsible and divisive. Mufti clarified her stance, differentiating between Hindutva, which she labeled an ideology of hate, and Hinduism, which she viewed as a religion promoting love and compassion, similar to Islam.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti's daughter iltija mufti on Friday said her mother and another former chief minister Omar Abdullah have not been detained for making provocative statements but for questioning the Centre's "illegal actions" in Jammu and Kashmir.

Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti's daughter iltija mufti was granted a regular passport with 10-year validity here on Friday, officials said. Iltija expressed satisfaction on the issuance of a passport to her after a long-drawn legal fight.

iltija mufti, the daughter of former CM Mehbooba Mufti, has said that Kashmir has been engulfed in "clouds of darkness" ever since the special status given to J&K was abrogated. "Today, while the rest of the country celebrates India's Independence Day, Kashmiris have been caged like animals & deprived of basic human rights," she said.

Seeking dismissal of a writ petition filed by PDP president Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter, iltija mufti, for the issuance of a passport, the criminal investigation department of J&K Police has informed the J&K high court (HC) that Iltija’s final verification report was forwarded to the department concerned last month.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti's daughter iltija mufti will hold a fortnightly interactive session with people, the party has announced, a move which many viewed as an exercise before she takes the political plunge.

It is the misfortune of Jammu and Kashmir that youngsters here continue to get killed when they should be enjoying and planning their lives, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said on Friday. The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, along with her daughter and media advisor iltija mufti, visited the residence of slain Deputy Superintendent of Police Humayun Bhat here to extend condolences to the family.

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti's daughter has asked the administration to shift her mother, under detention at a guesthouse here for the last three months, to a place equipped to deal with the Valley's harsh winter. The Centre will be responsible if anything happens to Mehbooba, PDP chief, iltija mufti wrote in a letter to Srinagar administration.

"Fellow citizens don't need to visit Kashmir anymore to witness their subjugation. BJP has brought Kashmir right to the doorstep of every Indian," a tweet on Mehbooba Mufti's twitter handle read. The twitter handle of the PDP president is being operated by her daughter iltija mufti after the former was placed under preventive detention hours ahead of the Centre abrogating Article 370.

PDP’s iltija mufti claimed she was detained and prevented from holding a press conference in Jammu after visiting Kathua to offer condolences for a suicide victim. Allegedly, the victim died due to police torture. Former CM Mehbooba Mufti criticized the detention, calling it a disregard for fundamental freedoms in democracy.

The SC said that PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti should place request to the authorities for attending party meetings. The apex court permitted Iltija and her brother to meet their mother in detention. Mehbooba was put under detention on the eve of abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 on August 5 last year.

PDP member iltija mufti filed a police complaint in Srinagar against Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for allegedly gesturing to an AYUSH graduate in a hijab to show her face. The complaint follows similar action by a Samajwadi Party spokesperson, with critics arguing the act undermines women's dignity and emboldens attackers.
