From ‘Baji’ to ‘Rudali’: Where is the Mehbooba Mufti of Kashmir?

The Quint  

In the Eye of the Storm After an uneasy calm since the 2010 mass uprising, Kashmir is back to square one after the killing of the Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. Wani’s killing has in turn led to a mass uprising in which 49 people have been killed so far, and over 2,500 injured, enough for historians to script it as “the 2016 uprising”. In this tumultuous period, the centre of the debate isn’t about anyone from J&K’s first political family, the Abdullahs, but Mehbooba Mufti, the People’s Democratic Party chief, and the current and the first woman chief minister of the conflict-torn state of Jammu and Kashmir. But this time there have been 12 killings in a single day and not at any far-off area but in her home constituency – but she didn’t shed any tears, something that has surprised her hardcore supporters and even her party colleagues.
