Jammu and Kashmir: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti has criticised the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that the region continues to be governed by fear rather than dialogue.
In a statement shared on social media, Mufti expressed concern over the approach towards governance in the Union Territory and emphasised the importance of dialogue in addressing public concerns. Her remarks highlight the continuing political debate over governance, civil liberties and engagement with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Mufti has frequently called for greater communication between the authorities and the people, arguing that meaningful dialogue is essential to address political grievances and build public confidence.
Her latest statement has brought renewed attention to differing political perspectives on the situation in J&K, where questions of governance, public participation and the way forward remain important subjects of debate.
The remarks reflect the PDP’s position on the need for dialogue, while the broader discussion over governance and security in the region continues.
