Security agencies, local administration might be apprehensive about holding Assembly polls in J&K: Iltija Mufti

SRINAGAR — PDP leader Iltija Mufti expressed apprehension on Thursday that security agencies and the local administration might be apprehensive about the conduct of Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Election Commission ceding space to them would reinforce the notion of the Union Territory being a “police state”. “Easy to hazard a guess that while political parties here will press…

With two phases of elections concluded in the Kashmir valley, all attention is now riveted on the Anantnag-Rajouri seat, which has become the focal point of intense campaigning following a deferment requested by the BJP and others.

Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is contesting this seat, making it a crucial battle for the survival of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which has seen an exodus of members to the Apni Party and others.

The newly-formed DPAP initially proposed former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad as their candidate for the Lok Sabha seat but ultimately decided to field Advocate Saleem Parray.

In a significant departure from tradition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not fielded any candidates in this constituency for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, the Apni Party has put forward Zafar Iqbal Manhas, further intensifying the contest.

Iltija Mufti, media advisor to parliamentary candidate and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, stated, ���Despite exhausting all possible strategies to secure this seat, the BJP refrained from fielding a candidate here, fully aware of their inevitable and resounding defeat in Kashmir.”

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 12th Dec. The political and cultural landscape of Bharat was once again shaken by a fiery controversy when Iltija Mufti, the daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, referred to Hindutva as a “disease.” Her remark drew sharp criticism from various quarters, including Hindu seer Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham, who strongly countered her statement by describing Hindutva as a unifying philosophy, a way of life, and the very essence of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” the belief in the world as one family. This exchange highlights the growing divide between political and ideological factions in Bharat, where terms like Hindutva often carry contrasting interpretations. While for some, Hindutva represents a spiritual and cultural ethos, for others, it symbolizes a political ideology with controversial undertones. Iltija’s remarks and the backlash they generated reveal the complexities of these discussions and their potential to polarize public opinion. Iltija Mufti’s Controversial Remarks Iltija Mufti’s statement criticizing Hindutva as an ideology of hatred fueled by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar during the 1940s drew ire from Hindu leaders and political commentators. She went on to equate Hindutva with oppressive acts, claiming that slogans like “Jai Shri Ram” have been misappropriated for violence against minorities. By linking Hindutva with radical extremism, Iltija sparked outrage, particularly among those who view the philosophy as integral to Bharat’s cultural fabric. Her statement is part of a larger narrative espoused by some political leaders who oppose the perceived politicization of Hindu identity. However, such sweeping generalizations, especially when linking Hindutva with acts of violence, have been widely criticized as inflammatory and divisive. The remarks prompted demands for an apology from BJP leader Ravinder Raina, who condemned Iltija’s choice of words as disrespectful and unnecessary, emphasizing that political differences should not result in derogatory rhetoric. The Response from Dhirendra Shastri In a scathing rebuttal, Dhirendra Shastri dismissed Iltija Mufti’s remarks as baseless and offensive, stating that Hindutva is not a disease but a “medicine” for the world’s ailments. He explained that Hindutva promotes universal harmony and inclusivity, encapsulated in its ethos of seeing divine elements in every individual and recognizing the interconnectedness of humanity. Shastri further lambasted Iltija’s mindset, accusing her of peddling divisive narratives and lacking an understanding of Hindutva’s essence. His remarks also extended to personal criticism, referencing Iltija’s family dynamics, including her mother’s marriage to her uncle, as an alleged reflection of hypocrisy. Though his comments received support from some quarters, they also raised eyebrows for their harsh tone and ad hominem nature. A Broader Debate: Hindutva and Its Interpretations At the core of this controversy lies the enduring debate over the definition and application of Hindutva. For many, Hindutva is a philosophy rooted in spiritual unity and cultural pride, often described as the foundation of Bharat’s identity. It is associated with concepts like “Dharma,” ethical living, and the principle of tolerance. Critics, however, argue that Hindutva has been appropriated as a political tool, weaponized to justify exclusionary policies and discrimination. The divergent interpretations of Hindutva often fuel polarizing debates in political and social spheres. Iltija Mufti’s remarks are not isolated but part of a broader pattern where ideological disagreements escalate into contentious public debates, overshadowing meaningful discourse. The conflation of Hindutva with extremism, while politically charged, overlooks the philosophical and historical dimensions of the term. Public Reaction and Political Implications This controversy has further polarized an already divided electorate in Jammu and Kashmir and beyond.

The BJP’s demand for an apology reflects its strategy to counter narratives that challenge Hindutva’s legitimacy as a cultural and spiritual framework. On the other hand, Iltija Mufti’s remarks, while inflammatory, align with her broader critique of BJP-led policies and their impact on minority communities. It is worth noting that Iltija’s recent entry into electoral politics has been marked by challenges. Her decision to contest the Bijbehara seat in Jammu and Kashmir, a family stronghold for 25 years, resulted in a humiliating defeat. This setback may have fueled her outspoken rhetoric, as she attempts to carve a distinct political identity amid a shifting regional landscape. The Need for Constructive Discourse Controversies like these underscore the urgent need for a more constructive approach to political and cultural debates. While dissent and critique are essential in a democracy, inflammatory language and personal attacks undermine the potential for meaningful dialogue. Leaders on both sides of the spectrum must prioritize clarity and respect in their arguments, focusing on addressing real issues rather than perpetuating divisions. Conclusion The Iltija Mufti-Dhirendra Shastri controversy encapsulates the complexities of modern Bharatiya politics, where cultural identity, ideology, and personal ambition intersect. While Iltija’s remarks have sparked outrage, they also highlight the deep-rooted disagreements over Hindutva’s meaning and application. Dhirendra Shastri’s response, though passionate, further fueled the controversy with its pointed personal attacks. In the end, the debate over Hindutva cannot be resolved through polemics or inflammatory rhetoric. It requires a nuanced understanding of its historical, cultural, and political dimensions, as well as an acknowledgment of the diverse perspectives within Bharat’s pluralistic society. This controversy should serve as a reminder of the importance of civil discourse and the responsibility of public figures to engage in constructive debates that foster unity rather than division.   The post Hindutva Is a Medicine, Not a Disease”: Dhirendra Shastri Responds to Iltija Mufti’s Remarks appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

The glass ceiling that won’t break

By Faisul Yaseen

Despite much rhetoric about gender equality and women’s reservations by the major political parties, the distribution of mandates among the female folk in the J&K assembly polls points to their failure to walk the talk.

Among 902 contesting candidates for 90 assembly seats, only 42 women have got the mandate from political parties or are contesting independently – a total of just 4.65 percent of the total contesting.

This sad statistic is merely the beginning of a larger, more disturbing tale.

As it frames up with the major political actors in play including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Conference (PC), Apni Party, and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) into its fold, the statistics paint an even bleaker picture.

These mainstream parties have, together, fielded just eight women, or a meagre 0.89 percent of the total candidates contesting.

The BJP and Congress have fielded only one woman candidate each in J&K, while the NC has fielded three candidates, PDP two, Apni Party one, and PC and DPAP zero.

Compared with this, 21 women are contesting as independents and all the other parties in total are fielding 13 female candidates.

A total of 58 of the 90 constituencies do not have a single female candidate.

Another 22 constituencies have only one female candidate while seven constituencies can afford to watch two female contesting candidates.

Three female candidates are contesting a constituency in just two rare cases.

While the BJP and Congress have given tickets to only one female contestant each, who are both political newbies, NC has given mandate to a trio of women candidates including Sakina Masood (Itoo) and Shamima Firdaus, both of whom have experienced the turbulent storms of J&K politics, while only one is a newbie.

Similarly, among the two women contesting from the PDP, the party has fielded former legislator Asiea Naqash and Iltija Mufti, daughter of PDP President Mehbooba Mufti.

This is a classic case of elite capture rather than a commitment to gender parity as such.

A day after the Constitution (128th Amendment) Bill, to reserve 33 percent seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies was cleared by both Houses of the Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the bill presaged a new “democratic commitment” in India.

However, the BJP giving the mandate to only one woman among the 90 assembly seats in J&K illustrates that the commitment remains unfulfilled.

Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi in his message on the 40th anniversary of the All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) said, “In a system often stacked against women, each one of you must fight for and stake your rightful share of social, economic, and political power.”

The fact that Congress has given its mandates to just one woman in J&K suggests that even the Congress party’s system too is stacked against women.

Speaking with reporters in central Kashmir’s Budgam district in September 2023, NC Vice President and former chief minister Omar Abdullah said, “Fifty percent of our population is our sisters and mothers. They should get a chance to become representatives of the people.”

Abdullah said that NC had no scarcity of female leaders of calibre.

However, why then did it only give the mandate to so few women is perplexing.

PDP President Mehbooba Mufti had welcomed the union cabinet’s decision to approve the Women’s Reservation Bill and termed it a great step.

“Having navigated the rough terrain of a predominantly male political landscape myself, I am happy to see that finally, the Women Reservation Bill will become a reality. We’re grossly underrepresented given that we form half of the population. Great step,” Mufti posted on microblogging site X.

However, having given the mandate to just her daughter besides an ex-legislator, Mehbooba and her PDP too seem rather unwilling to give meaningful representation to women.

Former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had also congratulated the government on passing the Women’s Reservation Bill and said that it should have been passed 30 years back.

However, the fledgling party itself has not given mandate to even a single woman across J&K.

Apni Party leader Altaf Bukhari has been a vocal voice of 33 percent reservation for women in the J&K Legislative Assembly.

“Our party believes in real empowerment of women in J&K, and that dream will be realised when we have a considerable number of women lawmakers in our Legislative Assembly,” Bukhari said at a party function in Srinagar.

Why did his party then field only one female candidate across J&K?

For sure, in the corridors of power, perhaps the assurance of a 33 percent reservation for women may have come with more cheers and optimism.

However, the real question now is not so much if women can shatter the glass ceiling but whether the political establishment is ready to let them.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 9th Dec. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday criticized People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti for her remarks describing Hindutva as a “disease.” Naqvi emphasized the need to educate those unfamiliar with India’s “sanskriti and sanskar” about the significance of Sanatan culture. “Hindutva is the country’s ‘sanskriti’ and ‘sanskar,’ and those unaware of this must be reminded of the message of Sanatan culture,” Naqvi stated, as quoted by ANI. He further elaborated that Hindutva embodies inclusivity and unity, urging those who harbor misconceptions about it to study and understand it properly. Naqvi’s comments came in response to Iltija Mufti’s remarks earlier in the day, where she clarified a controversial post criticizing Hindutva. Reacting to a purported video of minor Muslim boys being forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram,” Mufti described Hindutva as a “disease” that has “afflicted millions of Indians” and misrepresented Lord Ram’s ideals. Clarifying her stance, Mufti distinguished between Hindutva and Hinduism, describing Hinduism as a religion promoting values of secularism, love, and compassion, akin to Islam. In contrast, she criticized Hindutva as an ideology of hate linked to Veer Savarkar’s vision of Hindu supremacy in the 1940s. Mufti also argued that the slogan “Jai Shri Ram” is increasingly being used to incite hatred rather than reflect the principles of “Ramrajya.” Her remarks have sparked a sharp political exchange, with Naqvi asserting Hindutva’s unifying philosophy and dismissing the PDP leader’s claims as rooted in a lack of understanding.   The post Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi Slams Iltija Mufti for Calling Hindutva a “Disease” appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
