Mehbooba criticises ban on AAC, JKIM

Srinagar, Mar 11: PDP President Mehbooba Mufti has criticised the ban on  Awami Action Committee (AAC ) and Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM).

She posted on X, “ MHA’s banning of Jammu and Kashmir  Awami Action Committee ( AAC ) headed by Mirwaiz Ummer Farooq and Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM) headed by Mohammad Abbas Ansari is another blow to Kashmir’s social and political landscape.

Suppressing dissent will only deepen tensions rather than resolve them. The J&K government must intervene to stop such actions.

Democracy is about more than elections - it’s about protecting citizens’ fundamental rights. While silencing Kashmir’s voices may serve BJP’s political agenda, it undermines the very Constitution that safeguards these rights. The central government must reassess its approach and move away from heavy-handed tactics.”
