Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the People's Democratic Party, expressed her outrage following the tragic deaths of two children in Manipur. The young victims, a 5-year-old boy and a six-month-old girl, perished after suspected militants launched a bomb attack on a house in Bishnupur district.

Making her statement on a social media platform, Mufti described the killings as 'deeply condemnable & horrific.' Despite the gravity of the incident, she highlighted the profound silence from those in positions of power, criticizing their focus on political campaigns instead of ensuring basic human rights and justice.

Mufti's statement also underscored the harsh reality that political leaders often neglect the public's safety once election periods pass, leaving citizens vulnerable during times of crisis. The incident has sparked protests demanding accountability and action.
