Mehbooba Mufti Calls Out 'Selective Outrage' Following BRICS Terror Statement
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti welcomed the BRICS declaration condemning the Pahalgam terror attack while criticizing international leaders for selective empathy. She asserted that civilian suffering across conflicts in Pahalgam, Gaza, and Iran must be evaluated under uniform moral principles.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti responded to the joint BRICS declaration condemning the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, emphasizing that international condemnation of violence must remain consistent regardless of geography.
Mufti welcomed the multilateral stance against terrorism in Kashmir but expressed deep concern over what she termed 'selective outrage' among global powers. She argued that international justice risks losing credibility when civilian casualties in regions like Gaza and Iran are viewed through divergent geopolitical lenses compared to domestic terror incidents.
Her remarks highlight the delicate intersection of regional security concerns in Jammu and Kashmir and broader global diplomatic debates. By linking the Pahalgam attack to ongoing international conflicts, Mufti called for a universal humanitarian standard that prioritizes civilian protection above strategic alliances.
