I have orders, but I do not want to disclose their identities for their protection. Also, no other candidates were interviewed,” Mufti told reporters here. She said these were not ordinary posts, but vacancies in the government departments across Jammu and Kashmir, which the government “gave to their ministers, MLAs, alliance partners. I think the BJP also has a share, that is why they are silent and are not raising any hue and cry over it”. Mehbooba, a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said her party received complaints about these appointments, alleging that the government took two to three lakh rupees from the candidates.

Regarding the return of Kashmiri Pandits to the valley, the PDP president said certain “lobbies” among the Pandits were trying to “weaponise” their pain to run their own agenda. “It is good that Kashmiri Pandits are coming here now. But there are some lobbies among the Kashmiri Pandits, some people who, to run their own agenda, want to weaponise their pain. The Kashmiri Pandits should isolate them. “Also, they should stop looking into the past and look towards the future. About 99 per cent of those killed in J-K are Muslims. Only one per cent were our Pandit brothers, whose population is very small,” she said.
