Mehbooba Mufti, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has issued a public call for participation in a forthcoming rally at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on September 29. In her appeal, the PDP president specifically sought support from individuals who align with secular principles, inviting them to join the demonstration.
The protest has been organised under the banner of the Monitoring Committee for Indian Muslims, a body that focuses on issues affecting the Muslim community in India. The committee has been actively engaging in advocacy and mobilisation efforts on matters of concern to its constituency.
Mufti's outreach to secular-minded citizens represents an attempt to broaden the protest's appeal beyond a single community. The move signals an effort to frame the demonstration as aligned with constitutional and secular values, seeking to attract support from diverse sections of society.
The Jantar Mantar venue in New Delhi, a traditional site for public demonstrations and protests, has been chosen for the rally. The specific agenda and demands of the protest are expected to be articulated during the event.
