BJP trampling on democracy, human rights in Jammu and Kashmir: Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti said, "The country and the world should take note of how the BJP is implementing majoritarianism in the once largest democracy of the world, how the party is lecturing the world on democracy, human rights, and human values, and how it is trampling on democracy and human values in Jammu and Kashmir." 

New Delhi: In a sharp attack at the BJP, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday (November 14) said the saffron party is ‘trampling on democracy and human rights’ in Jammu and Kashmir.

Mufti said the BJP-led government is at ‘war with its own people’. "The BJP government lectures Afghanistan on inclusive government and human rights, and in Kashmir, people are jailed and booked for treason for demanding constitutional rights. Inclusiveness for the BJP in Kashmir changes to mean only people who toe its lines and propagate its agenda," PTI quoted the PDP chief as saying. 

She said the BJP is lecturing the world on democracy while trampling on it in Jammu and Kashmir. "The country and the world should take note of how the BJP is implementing majoritarianism in the once largest democracy of the world, how the party is lecturing the world on democracy, human rights, and human values, and how it is trampling on democracy and human values in Jammu and Kashmir," she added.
