MP Ruhullah Mehdi questioned the claim of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir, attributing ongoing hostility to the BJP’s policies since 2019.
In a recent statement, Member of Parliament Ruhullah Mehdi challenged the narrative that Jammu and Kashmir has returned to normal after years of unrest. He argued that the region continues to experience hostility and that the situation has not improved.
Mehdi specifically pointed to the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has been in power at the centre since 2019, as the source of policies that have intensified tensions. He said that actions taken after the revocation of the state’s special status have contributed to an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.
The MP’s remarks come amid ongoing debates over security measures and civil liberties in the union territory. While authorities maintain that stability is being restored, Mehdi’s comments highlight persistent political dissent over the central government’s approach.
No new policy changes were announced during the remarks, and the statement reflects broader concerns voiced by several local leaders about the impact of the BJP’s governance on daily life in Jammu and Kashmir.
