Srinagar, August 30, 2023: In a significant move, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (J&KPDP) has announced the appointment of Ms. Iltija Mufti as the Media Advisor to the Party President, Ms. Mehbooba Mufti. The decision underscores the party’s recognition of Ms. Iltija’s effective engagement in managing Ms. Mehbooba Mufti’s social media presence since 2019.
Ms. Iltija Mufti’s role extended far beyond managing social media accounts; she emerged as a powerful voice and an outspoken critic of the Government of India’s (GOI) decision to unilaterally abrogate Article 370, a decision that had significant implications for the region. During a period when many mainstream leaders of Jammu and Kashmir found themselves incarcerated, Ms. Iltija Mufti stepped forward to raise her voice against the controversial move.
The disclosure of this strategic appointment was made by the Chief Spokesperson of the party, Mr. Syed Suhail Bukhari, through a statement issued today. The move underscores the party’s confidence in Ms. Iltija’s capabilities and her dedication to championing the cause of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
With Ms. Iltija Mufti at the helm of media advisory, the J&KPDP is signaling its intent to amplify its messaging, enhance its outreach, and effectively contribute to discussions that shape the future of the region. This development is likely to resonate with political observers and the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as it signifies a strategic step toward articulating their aspirations and concerns on a broader stage.
