PDP leader Iltija Mufti participated in Aaj Tak’s special program ‘Panchayat Aaj Tak’ and answered all the questions fearlessly. During this, she attacked the central government and said that the government sitting in Delhi is trying to evict us from our land and jobs.
Responding to a question related to the new Kashmir, Iltija said, ‘There were a lot of media persons in my house yesterday. You will not believe that there will be so 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.’
Engineer Rashid was surprised when he got bail- Iltija
Iltija has accepted that shops and schools are open normally in the valley. She said, ‘Shops are open here, children are completing school but this is not normality. Because if there was no pain inside the people, Engineer Rashid would not have won, who won by 2 lakh votes. What sentiments does he talk about – freedom sentiment, referendum sentiment… So this was his victory, it was the biggest defeat of the Delhi government.’
Iltija said, ‘He filed his candidature in North Kashmir 12 days ago, see how many people were there. He got bail now, it is a bit surprising why he got bail now. Why did he not get bail to do his campaign? There is a discussion among the people that why did Engineer Rashid get bail now? It is very good that he got bail but I meet so many women, their sons are also in jail, they should also be released. I have not come here to throw mud.’
What are the real issues of Kashmir? In response to this question, Iltija said, ‘There is no freedom to talk here. Where there was no terrorism before – Doda, Rajouri, Poonch, Jammu… so many of our people are getting martyred. Just because the shops are open does not mean that everything is fine.’

Said this on the question of Jamaat
Is it a threat for you if Jamaat-e-Islami contests elections? On this Iltija said, ‘If Jamaat wants to contest elections then what is the problem. Jamaat does such good work, it provides free education to children in schools. But their candidates have a different background, you see which party they are coming from.’
Mufti sahab met Modi ji in front of everyone, Modi ji embraced him, that photo is 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.
