People's Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti sent a letter to Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday. She urged him to address what she called the systematic disempowerment of Muslims across India. The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister cited recent events such as the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor as evidence. She also mentioned forced displacements in Assam and Bihar that target Muslim communities.
Mufti criticized the use of terms like Bangladeshis and Rohingyas to justify evictions and harassment of Muslims. She pointed to media reports about home demolitions and Special Investigation Reports in Bihar as collective punishment tools. The PDP leader accused politicians and national media of selective outrage when comparing treatment of Hindus abroad versus Muslims within India.
She appealed to Gandhi to break his silence and use his moral authority during the parliamentary session. Mufti expressed that her hopes rest with his leadership to reverse growing alienation of the Muslim community.
