Srinagar, Feb. 10 -- However, the event drew criticism from Iltija Mufti, daughter of former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and a PDP leader, who alleged being detained in Jammu to prevent a scheduled press conference.

"Detained at Circuit House Jammu now. All this because @JmuKmrPolice wanted me to cancel my press conference scheduled for 4 pm. This is Naya Kashmir and the true face of it. The elected government is too busy hosting a lunch in Delhi to care about victims of human rights violations," she posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Observers interpret her remarks as a pointed attack on the National Conference, implying that the party is prioritizing social gatherings over critical issues affecting Jammu and Kashmir.
