  • The PDP chief said that if Bangladesh committed atrocities against its minorities, and if India did the same, how could India be different from Bangladesh?

Mehbooba Mufti, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and PDP chief, sparked controversy by stating that there is "no difference between India and Bangladesh" in terms of the treatment of minorities. Her comments were made during a press conference where she criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly promoting a narrative that divides people along religious lines. Mufti's remarks have led to a significant backlash, with BJP leaders and others condemning her for equating India, a secular democracy, with Bangladesh, which has a different political and social context. The BJP has accused her of making divisive statements to further her political agenda, while Mufti insists her comments were aimed at highlighting the plight of minorities in India. This incident has reignited debates about the state of secularism and minority rights in India.
