SRINAGAR: Iltija Mufti, the media advisor of Mehbooba Mufti, the head of the People’s Democratic Party, asserted on Tuesday that the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was nearly “manhandled” when she attempted to organise a nonviolent demonstration in favour of Palestine during Israel’s conflict. Iltija Mufti, a news conference speaker and Mehbooba Mufti‘s daughter, questioned the Jammu and Kashmir local administration further, questioning why it has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. Mehbooba Mufti was nearly violently attacked when she attempted to demonstrate in favour of Palestine. She was denied the right to peaceful protest.I would like to know why the local government has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. You accuse us of being anti-national. However, the things we wish to do are nonviolent,” Iltija Mufti stated. Amidst the present Israel-Hamas conflict, which has resulted in over 5,000 deaths so far, Iltija made her thoughts. India has vehemently denounced the terror strikes that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, which sparked a war that is currently in its eighteenth day. “Very horrified to learn about the terrorist attacks in Israel. Our hearts and prayers are with the families of the innocent victims. At this trying time, we are united in support of Israel,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on social media, X. Iltija went on to say that during the previous two weeks, at least 1,500 children had been “slaughtered”. “People are turning out in large numbers to support the Palestinian citizens who are victims of crimes committed against them. They are under attack from bombs made of phosphorus. In the last two weeks, at least 1,500 youngsters had been killed, the speaker claimed. Since October 7, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 5,087 Palestinians. Mehbooba Mufti expressed her disapproval of Israel earlier on October 21 in response to the West Asian country’s conflict with Hamas.Mehbooba Mufti and other demonstrators chanted “Israel go back” throughout the demonstration. In Palestine, 1,500 children have died. In Palestine, thousands of innocent people have perished. The entire globe is a spectator. When children were slain in Ukraine during their conflict with Russia, the world erupted in protest. Thousands of people have been slaughtered in Palestine recently, yet nobody is discussing it. We implore all countries to exert pressure on Israel to implement a cease-fire. In Palestine, atrocities are being committed. Israel is harming Palestinians with actions reminiscent of the Holocaust. In the long run, this can make things worse. Mehbooba Mufti declared, “Israelis have to evacuate Palestine.The vice president of the National Conference (NC) remarked that innocent people are dying in Gaza bombardment while addressing the media reporters present on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. We have been against what is taking place in Gaza since the very beginning. Bombs in Gaza are killing innocent people… The world has seen that Israel and Russia are subject to distinct laws,” Abdullah remarked. Speaking to the media, he posed questions to the world community, saying, “If what Russia did to Ukraine was a war crime, then what Israel is doing to Gaza is not wrong? It is impossible for both to be true. The world must now determine what is right.” said Abdullah.
