Iltija Mufti hits out at Omar Abdullah over liquor ban logic with Gujarat and Bihar example

PDP leader Iltija Mufti sharply criticized Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah for refusing an alcohol ban, arguing his justification—that Hindus may drink because religion permits it—doesn’t add up. Posting on X, Mufti demanded to know how Hindu-majority states like Gujarat and Bihar managed alcohol prohibitions “without a whimper.” She also said Abdullah dismissed religious sensibilities of the majority with indifference. Abdullah, meanwhile, defended his stance by saying people aren’t being forced to drink.
