Rising Tensions: Kashmiris Targeted in Mob Violence

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti issued a scathing critique of state governments on Tuesday, alleging they provide implicit support to mob violence targeting Kashmiris beyond the Union Territory's borders.

Mufti argues this troubling shift towards fear-based politics has supplanted the rule of law, with some states viewing hatred as a means to political success.

Her comments followed disturbing reports of violence against Kashmiris, including a recent harassment of an elderly man in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, and an attack in Uttarakhand that left a young Kashmiri seriously injured. Mufti also censured Jammu and Kashmir's MPs for their silence on these unsettling issues.
