PDP leader and Bijbehara candidate Iltija Mufti participated in Aaj Tak’s special program ‘Panchayat Aaj Tak’ and answered many questions. During this, she targeted the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir as well as the Central Government. She said that the situation in the state is not as the Central Government is trying to show.
Responding to a question related to the new Kashmir, Iltija said, ‘When I meet people during my election campaign, you will not believe that there will be many women who cry on camera and say that the police has taken them away and UAPA has been imposed on them. They have been in jail for so many years.’
Narrated the story related to Bill Clinton and Lalu
On the question of PDP’s alliance with BJP, Iltija said, ‘Mufti sahab met Modi ji in front of everyone, the photos of what Modi ji did with him are also in front of everyone. What can I say about the rest of the people. It was not my family but PDP that formed an alliance with BJP. Mufti sahab’s effort was that we will be able to moderate Modi ji.’

Iltija said, ‘Mufti sahab’s effort was that we will be able to moderate Modi ji. I will tell you a joke that Lalu ji is sent to America to meet Bill Clinton because Bill Clinton will teach Lalu ji English. When the media reaches there after two months, Bill Clinton has his feet on the table and says where is the Lalwa Paan… so we thought we will change Modi ji, he changed the whole of India.’
Iltija said, ‘We thought we will give them a secular mindset or moderate them, the whole of India has gone mad, I mean to say that Muslims, Muslims, Covid spreaders… Mufti sahab’s intentions were clear. He (Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) worked with Vajpayee ji. You see Vajpayee ji took a bus to Lahore, will any Congress Prime Minister do that too, no… We thought we will moderate the BJP but they made the rest of us mad.’
