Srinagar: PDP chief and former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has regrets that Muslims have to time and again prove that they despise violence of any form. “…at a time when India has become so polarised, there is increasing Islamphobia and Afghanistan crisis has only worsened it. Muslims are always expected to prove that they don’t stand for violence. I can see why my statement is being used as click bait to further this impression,” Mufti tweeted.

She also pointed out that the misconstruing of her views on Sharia hasn’t taken her by surprise. “Not surprised that my statement on Sharia has been deliberately distorted. Cant (sic) point fingers since most countries that claim to uphold Sharia have failed to imbibe its true values. They are only fixated with restricting women through do’s & dont’s, dress codes etc,” she added.
