Mehbooba Mufti Criticizes Centre's Policies After Red Fort Blast
A big explosion happened near the Red Fort in Delhi, and 13 people sadly died.
A former leader from Kashmir named Mehbooba Mufti said that the Indian government's actions and unfair way of treating people created a bad feeling that made some young people from Kashmir do this.
She thinks the government's policies are wrong and are causing problems.
Some politicians from the ruling party strongly disagreed with her, saying she was playing politics and shouldn't blame the government.
Police are investigating the explosion and found that doctors might have been involved in a terror group that planned it.
They also found a lot of explosives nearby.
Mehbooba Mufti blames the central government's 'poisonous atmosphere' and divisive politics for the Red Fort blast, stating it pushed Kashmiri youth to extremism.
Mufti asserted that the 'problems of Kashmir' have now 'echoed' in Delhi due to the government's policies.
BJP leaders condemned Mufti's remarks, calling them 'dirty politics' and an attempt to destabilize Jammu and Kashmir.
The blast is being investigated as a sophisticated terror module led by doctors, with two Kashmiri doctors arrested and large explosives seized in Faridabad.
The suicide bomber was identified as Umar Mohammad, a resident of Kashmir.

Mehbooba Mufti's View
BJP's Response
Cause of Terror and Violence
Mehbooba Mufti's View
The Centre's policies and the creation of a 'poisonous atmosphere' are responsible for driving Kashmiri youth to extremism and led to the Red Fort blast. Divisive Hindu-Muslim politics has taken precedence over national security.
BJP's Response
Mehbooba Mufti is playing 'dirty politics' and attempting to destabilize the situation in Jammu and Kashmir with her statements. She should stand with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir instead of making such condemnable remarks.
Government's Role in Jammu and Kashmir
Mehbooba Mufti's View
The government has 'created havoc' and committed 'atrocities' in Kashmir, despite claiming everything is fine. The problems of Kashmir have 'echoed' in Delhi.
BJP's Response
Prime Minister Modi has done a lot for Jammu and Kashmir, and Mufti's statement is unfortunate and 'pathetic'.
