1st phase of J&K polls Wednesday. PDP’s Iltija Mufti is contesting from Bijbehara, Afzal Guru’s brother Aijaz from Sopore, and Engineer Rashid’s brother Sheikh Khursheed from Langate.
PDP general secretary Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura proposed the name of Mehbooba for the post of president, which was seconded by former minister Abdul Gaffar Sofi.
Mehbooba Mufti also said that it has been her party's stand that Jammu and Kashmir should not be a cause of confrontation but a bridge between India and its neighbours.
Regional parties, including NC & PDP, have called administration's move to notify areas for construction of armed forces facilities an attempt to turn J&K into a 'military establishment'.
PDP had won the Baramulla seat, which encompasses north Kashmir, for the first time in 2014. This time, Mehbooba Mufti’s party isn’t even sure of third place.
Mufti was addressing her party officials when she also said that the country's democratic values can help Jammu and Kashmir counter intolerance and sectarianism.
