Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti has posted a picture of Palestine’s flag on social media in support of it. In this post he wrote Palestine’s slogan, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’ This post of Mehbooba Mufti has come at a time when Jammu and Kashmir Police has summoned a local cricketer for showing the Palestine flag on his cap during a match.

What is the meaning of Mufti’s slogan?

The Palestine slogan mentioned by Mehbooba Mufti means the formation of a Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Israel supporters say that such slogans are often raised by their adversary Palestinian groups. This slogan denies the existence of Israel.

From the river to the sea,
Palestine will be free.

A flag in the wind, bold and free,
From the river to the sea. https://t.co/auXcMGV1VP pic.twitter.com/ouE57zvnVU

Kashmiri cricketer puts Palestinian flag on his helmet

During the Jammu and Kashmir Champions League match, the flag of Palestine was placed on the helmet of a cricketer. After being recorded on camera during batting, a mark made of the Palestine flag was seen on his helmet. After this the police sent summons to the cricketer. Police are trying to find out under what circumstances the Palestinian flag was shown.

Police said that the cricketer called for questioning has been identified as Furkan Bhat. The incident occurred on Wednesday (31 December 2025) during the match between JK11 Kings and Jammu Trailblazers in the Jammu and Kashmir Champions League cricket tournament.

Police investigating Kashmiri cricketer case

By interrogating the cricketer and the organizer of the tournament, the police is trying to find out whether the necessary permissions were taken or not. It is also being ascertained whether there was any violation of the tournament guidelines and what was the real intention behind displaying the flag during the sporting event.

In July last year, four youths were arrested for allegedly wearing T-shirts bearing the Palestinian flag during a Muharram procession in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh. In the same month, another man was arrested for allegedly waving a Palestinian flag during a Muharram procession in Agra.

Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti once again raised the issue of not getting bail to Umar Khalid. He said that Umar Khalid had not said anything wrong, he had not broken any bounds of decorum, but today he is not getting bail for five years. With great difficulty he was allowed to attend his sister’s wedding.

Mehbooba Mufti said, “We do not even talk to the youth about what they think, what they do. What problems are there in his mind? Who should he talk to? I don’t know how much you can speak in Jammu but you cannot talk in Kashmir.

‘Umar Khalid did not break any bounds of etiquette’

Referring to former JNU student Umar Khalid, the PDP chief said, “Umar Khalid had not said anything wrong, he had not broken any bounds of decorum, but today he is not getting bail for the last five years.” With great difficulty he was allowed to attend his sister’s wedding. So somewhere within our country this system has been formed.

Challenges and opportunities are not different – ​​Mehbooba Mufti

He further said, “This is not just intolerance against Muslims but general intolerance. Today there are challenges here, so I say there is opportunity with them. Challenges and opportunities are not different. There is a question and an answer, so where there is a question there will be an answer also.

Khalid got interim bail for his sister’s marriage.

It is noteworthy that on December 11, Delhi Court had granted interim bail to former JNU student Umar Khalid to attend his sister’s wedding. During this time also the PDP chief had given his reaction. He had alleged that it was surprising that Umar Khalid had to wait 5 years for 13 days parole to attend his sister’s wedding. Umar Khalid is an accused in the case related to the conspiracy of 2020 Delhi riots.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a person in connection with the 36-year-old Rubaiya Saeed kidnapping case. Let us tell you that this case is related to Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and the then Union Home Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. During that time, Rubaiya Saeed was kidnapped for the release of jailed militants of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). Rubaiya Saeed is the chief of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and sister of former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti.

Rubaiya Saeed was released 5 days after being kidnapped. At that time, the VP Singh government at the Center had accepted the demand of the terrorists and released five JKLF terrorists. Rubaiya Sayeed now lives in Tamil Nadu and is also a CBI witness in this case. CBI took over this case in the early 1990s.

Arrest made from Srinagar

The person arrested by CBI has been identified as Shafaat Ahmed Shunglu, son of Saif-ud-Din, a former member of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front, who is said to be a resident of Howl area of ​​Srinagar in the old city. Let us tell you that accused Shunglu was currently living in Ishbar of Nishat area of ​​Srinagar, from where CBI has taken him into custody from Police Station Nishat.

Yasin Malik’s name among the main accused

Sources familiar with the matter said the arrests come as part of the Central Investigation Agency’s ongoing crackdown on the 1989 kidnapping case, in which several accused have been interrogated in recent years as the trial is going on in a designated court.

Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Yasin Malik, who was the commander in chief of the terrorist group at that time, is one of the main accused in this case and his trial is also going on. For information, let us tell you that Rubaiya Saeed has identified Yasin Malik as the kidnapper in front of the court.

Vande Mataram Discussion: Vande Mataram will be discussed in Parliament, 10 hours time allotted; PM Modi will also participate

PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has urged Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to raise with the Central Government the issue of alleged ill-treatment of Kashmiri students and workers across the country after the blast at the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10.

Mehbooba Mufti said that the entire people of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be punished for the crime of one person. He has appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to talk to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on this serious issue because Kashmiris living outside the state are scared.

‘Anger over the blast is justified, but harassing innocents is wrong’

Speaking to the media after meeting the family of Bilal Ahmed, who was injured in the Red Fort blast in Kangan in Ganderbal district, Mehbooba said, “There is anger in the entire country over the blast at the Red Fort, in which innocent people were killed. But this does not mean that Kashmiris who have gone to earn their livelihood or study should be made victims of this anger.”

He said that videos and news coming on social media show that Kashmiris living outside are facing difficulties. In such a situation, it is important to ensure their safety.

‘It is worrying for the doctor to become a human bomb’

Referring to the blast accused Dr. Umar Nabi, Mehbooba Mufti described it as very worrying for the society. She said, “As a mother, I feel pained to think why an educated youth like Dr. Umar Nabi, who should have been saving people’s lives, is choosing the path of death?”

He said that the doctor has not only taken his own life and that of others, but has also put the lives of the common people of Jammu and Kashmir in trouble. Mehbooba has appealed to religious leaders like Ulemas and Mirwaiz to come forward and explain to the youth not to adopt the path of violence and suicide.

‘Suffocation due to removal of Article 370, but violence is not the solution’

Taking aim at the policies of the central government, Mehbooba said that there is an “atmosphere of fear and suffocation” in Jammu and Kashmir after the removal of Article 370 in 2019. Arrests are being made and there is pressure on people. However, he clarified that, “This suffocation does not mean that our youth should become suicide bombers. Giving up one’s life and taking the lives of others cannot be the way to fight any situation.”

Injured Bilal’s family hopes for help

Talking about Bilal Ahmed who was injured in the blast, Mehbooba said that he had gone to Delhi to earn his living and his family is very poor. He expressed hope from the administration that proper care will be taken of Bilal and his family.

In the end, the PDP chief reiterated that those involved in terrorism should be given strict punishment, but oppression of common Kashmiris in its name is not acceptable.

People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti has given a big statement amid widespread raids by security agencies in Kashmir in the case of ‘white collar’ terrorist conspiracy. He said on Tuesday (November 18) that the common people of J&K should not be collectively punished for someone else’s mistake. He also demanded a thorough investigation into the accidental blast at Naugam police station and said that many questions related to this incident are yet to be answered.

After meeting the family of police inspector Shah Asrar, who was killed in the Naugam blast on Friday, in North Kashmir’s Kupwara district, Mehbooba Mufti said, “It seems that the times to come could be catastrophic for Kashmir. The people of Jammu and Kashmir should not be collectively punished for anyone’s mistake in Delhi (Red Fort blast).”

An incident like Naugam should not have happened – Mehbooba Mufti

He said, “If someone is guilty then he should be punished, but the common Kashmiri people should not be treated harshly.” Expressing condolences to the family of State Investigation Agency (SIA) Inspector Asrar, the PDP President said that an incident like Naugam should not have happened. He said, “People, especially policemen, lost their lives in this incident. Kashmir is currently going through an atmosphere of anxiety and fear. There should have been experts to handle ammonium nitrate. It was dangerous for policemen or common people to handle it.”

‘Why was 3000 kg ammonium nitrate brought?’

Mehbooba Mufti further said that those who lost their lives have small children and the entire Kashmir stands with them in their grief. He demanded a comprehensive investigation into the Naugam blast and said that answers to many serious questions were necessary. He asked, “Why was nearly 3,000 kg of ammonium nitrate brought here? Why was it kept in a police station surrounded by a residential area?”

Demand to give bravery award to those who lost their lives in Naugam

He also raised the question, “Why were Naib Tehsildars or policemen given the responsibility to handle this, when they had no experience in it?” Mufti appealed to the government to take special care of the affected families and demanded the highest gallantry award for those who lost their lives in the incident.

Voting is being held on Friday (October 24) for four Rajya Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference (NC) is hopeful of a clean sweep with the support of 57 members including Congress, PDP, CPI and independents. At the same time, BJP with 28 members is hoping to win the fourth seat.

Let us tell you that the votes of Sheikh Khurshid of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIP) and jailed MLA Mehraj Malik of Aam Aadmi Party will decide the fourth seat, because both National Conference and BJP have 28-28 members.

What did MLA Sheikh Khurshid say
Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surendra Chaudhary claims that Sajjad Lone will also vote for the National Conference candidate. He has claimed that Sajjad has changed his decision of not voting. Meanwhile, Awami Ittehad Party MLA Sheikh Khurshid has said that he will vote for NC. He says that voting is a compulsion to keep BJP away. This has made BJP’s victory on seat 4 more difficult.

Alliance of National Conference and Congress
The alliance of National Conference and Congress has majority in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, hence two seats are being considered safe for the alliance. A third notification was issued for the remaining two seats. According to the mathematics of the Assembly, it is certain that one of the two members from NC will be elected, but there is competition between BJP and NC for the other one.

Let us tell you that the Election Commission had issued 3 separate notifications for the selection of these four members. This means that each MLA will vote three times to elect Rajya Sabha member. One member will be elected as per the first notification. Another member will be elected under the second notification. There are 2 seats vacant in the 90-seat assembly of Jammu and Kashmir and the process of by-election is going on here. The NC-Congress alliance, which is in power in the state, has the support of 53 MLAs in the House. Of these, there are 41 MLAs from NC, 6 from Congress and one from CPI(M).

‘Our student life was not forced’- Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti said in the city’s Baghat area, “It is unfortunate that the BJP has brought this place to a situation where they are forcing people to stand for the national anthem on the strength of guns.

On Thursday (25 September), he said that if the BJP government continues to deal with Ladakh in this way, then a big danger can be in the coming time. He said that what happened in Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir has been converted into an open jail. You cannot talk here. We all saw what happened in Ladakh. But if someone talks in Jammu and Kashmir, then PSA and UAPA put them in jail.

Central government policy is wrong- Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti said, “Why Ladakh is burning. Because the policy of the central government is wrong. This is the result of the beginning after 2019. Ladakh is a border state. China is occupied by more than 5000 square meters. Similarly, if the BJP government continues to deal with Ladakh, then there can be a big danger in the coming time.”

People of Ladakh are peace loving- Mufti

PDP Chief said that the people of Ladakh are peace loving. But in 2019, our special status was abolished illegally, then there was a wave of happiness among the people of Ladakh that we got the union territory on this pretext. People thought that we would get more rights first but it was completely reverse.

Mehbooba Mufti said, “The people of Ladakh feel that we were more safe if we were with Jammu and Kashmir. The atmosphere of Ladakh is very sensitive. The land is very low. The land is very low. A large part of the land is near the army. The remaining land is eyeing the big businessmen. Big businessmen are noticed. On the pretext of development, the pretext of making roads, the pretext of building the roads, the pretext of making the hotel The danger of their population is a few lakhs.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Saturday (September 20) that it is not right to link the case of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) President Yasin Malik with politics. He said that this matter should be completely left to the court. Omar insisted that Malik chose the path of conversation after putting arms and has always been in favor of the conversation.

This statement came at a time when PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding to adopt a human view in cases against Yasin Malik. Mehbooba says that Malik has chosen the way to leave violence and do politics in a democratic manner.

No need to do politics- Omar Abdullah

Leave the decision on the courts

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah further said that the courts should be allowed to take decisions independently. He said, “The court decisions should be left to the courts. It is not a good thing to put political pressure on the courts.”

Many cases against Malik

Yasin Malik is currently serving life imprisonment in a case of terror funding. He was arrested in February 2019. Apart from this, there are many more cases on him, including the kidnapping of Rubaiya Saeed, daughter of former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Saeed and attack on Indian Air Force personnel in Rawalpora in 1990.

Expect help for flood victims

Apart from the case of Yasin Malik, the Chief Minister also expressed concern over the recent floods in Jammu and Kashmir. He told that this flood has caused huge destruction in the state.

He further said, “Instead, they are firm to keep the region in a state of constant disturbance and are making weapons for pain and unrest in the rest of the country. This condemnable approach is not only irresponsible; but also dangerous and completely condemnable.”

What did Mirwaiz Umar Farooq say?

Hurriyat Conference President Mirwaiz Umar Farooq also claimed that he was placed under house arrest on Wednesday. Mirwaiz said on X, “I am sad beyond words that the authorities forced Prof. SB’s family to complete their ‘funeral’ in a hurry.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that his friendship and guidance with Bhat has a 35 -year relationship. He said, “Many other people were also craving to pay him a final tribute. It is an unbearable cruelty to be deprived of his involvement in ‘Janaza’ and also the relaxation of his final farewell.”

Sajjad Lone, former minister and president of the People’s Conference, said, “I have been put under house arrest to prevent Professor Ghani Saheb’s ancestral village from going to Bottingu.
