She is the daughter of PDP founder and former J&K chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. Sayeed died in office on 7 January 2016. Following her father's demise, Mehbooba Mufti is now set to become the first woman Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Mehbooba Mufti was a member of the 14th Lok Sabha (2004-2009). She represented the Anantnag constituency of Jammu and Kashmir. In 2014, she was elected again to the 16th Lok Sabha from the same constituency. She was sworn-in as the first woman chief minister of J&K on 4 April, 2016. Early Life and Political Career Mehbooba Mufti was born on 22 May, 1959 in Bijbehara town of Jammu & Kashmir's Anantnag district. She earned her law degree from the University of Kashmir. Her sister Rubaiya Sayeed as well as her family came in the news in 1989 when Rubaiya was abducted by a terrorist outfit and later released in exchange of three dreaded terrorists in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Their father, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, was India's Home Minister then. Mehbooba came in political limelight when she won the 1996 Assembly elections in J&K on Congress ticket from Bijbehara constituency. In 1999, she lost to Omar Abdullah in the parliamentary elections. But Mehbooba made her mark quickly as a fierce opposition leader. When her father Mufti Mohammad split from the Congress to launch the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party in 1999, she became the party's vice-president. Mehbooba Mufti won the Pahalgam constituency in the 2002 Assembly polls. She contested from Anantnag seat successfully in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections. In the 2014 general elections, she won the Anantnag- Pulwama seat again for another five years' term. She defeated National Conference’s Mirza Mehboob Beg by a margin of 44,735 votes. While she won 1,42,237 votes, Beg got 97,502. The PDP and BJP reached an agreement to form government in Jammu & Kashmir after the 2015 Assembly elections. Mufti Mohammad Sayeed took over as the chief minister of the state. Following Mufti's demise in office, Mehbooba became the unanimous choice to take over her father's mantle. The PDP matriarch is now finally set to take over and become the first female chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir. Growing Public Support for Mehbooba Mufti According to political pundits, currently, there is a strong wave in the PDP’s favour in J&K in the wake of people’s aspirations of bringing about a change in the government in the state. Recently, Mehbooba had whole-heartedly welcomed Prime Minister Modi’s decision to celebrate the festival of Diwali with the flood affected people in the state. She has continuously criticized the mismanagement of the situation erupted after the floods hit the state, on the part of the ruling Omar Abdullah government. She was the one of the first leaders in J&K who tried to draw attention of the Prime Minister with a memorandum, towards the alleged mishandling of the post-flood situation in the state. She demanded Rs 44000 crore from the Centre for the relief and rehabilitation measures. Unemployment, favoritism and rampant corruption with regard to the Omar Abdullah government are amongst the most important issues raised her party in the current elections in the state and on almost all these pro-people issues she seems to be drawing considerable support from the people in J&K. .

  • Deepening Tragedy
    Deepening tragedy SHOWKAT A. MOTTA Print edition : Mehbooba Mufti at the press conference in Srinagar on June 19 where she announced her government’s resignation afte Bharatiya Janata Party pulled out of the ruling coalition. The BJP pulls out of the ruling alliance and brings down the government in Jammu and Kashmir in a move made with the Lok Sabha elections in mind even as the State sinks into greater depths of violence and militancy. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has demonstrated a ruthless streak ever since he arrived in New Delhi. He has broken political alliances in States from outside (Bihar), staked a claim to government without a legislative majority (Goa, Meghalaya), and won in some States by poaching other parties’ leaders (Nagaland). He played the “Hindu card” to achieve a last-minute win in his home State (Gujarat), and has taken on established parties through the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) by portraying RSS workers killed by activists of the opposition as “martyrs” (Kerala), and encouraged inghting in two other State parties (West Bengal). Jammu and Kashmir remained relatively distant from Shah’s Machiavellianism until June 19, when he pulled the rug from under the feet of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and brought down the three-and-half- year-old coalition government in the most volatile State of India. Long before the BJP’s sudden announcement of withdrawal from the alliance, however, the daggers were drawn within the forced political marriage between the BJP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The two parties, which had overzealously campaigned against each other right until the end of the 2014 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, were bound to cut loose, sooner or later.

  • Title: Reported News About the Increase in Cases of Human Rights Violation in Jammu & Kashmir
    nt> Title: Reported news about the increase in cases of Human Rights violation in Jammu & Kashmir. SHRI OMAR ABDULLAH (SRINAGAR): Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government to a pressing problem in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Often, in the fight against terrorism, we hear statements being used about 'winning the hearts and minds of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, providing them with a healing touch, and making them feel that they are a part of this country'. But unfortunately, it seems, in the past year, we have failed miserably in winning the hearts and the minds of the people and in providing them with a healing touch. I would like to draw the attention of this Government to a newspaper article, a copy of which I have circulated with my notice, which details just how badly we are losing this fight for 'winning the hearts and minds of the people'. The position of human rights is the worst in the last seven years. I would like to quote some figures for this Government. These are not the figures that I am providing, but these are the figures provided by the State's Human Rights Commission, which details 29 cases of custodial killing, 82 cases of disappearances, 65 cases of harassment, and numerous other cases. Totally, 672 cases of human rights violations have been recorded with the State's Human Rights Commission, between April 2003 and June 2004. This is against only 51 cases in the year 1998-99. Through you, Sir, I would like to request the Government to take a long, hard look at the position of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir, to strengthen the mechanism of human rights protection, and to ensure that incidents like this do not take place.

  • Background to the Kashmir Conflict: Challenges and Opportunities
    Background to the Kashmir conflict: challenges and opportunities Kashmir Initiative Group This paper is the first in a series from the Kashmir Initiative Group (KIG). It provides background on the Kashmir context; four upcoming policy briefs will be launched over the next year. The paper reflects on the current landscape in the region and the opportunities and challenges for a dialogue process. The policy briefs will each focus on a particular issue – confidence building measures (CBMs), trade across the Line of Control (LoC), the withdrawal of NATO-led forces from Afghanistan, and youth engagement – to provide more in-depth analysis and practical policy recommendations.
