Srinagar: Irtiqa Mufti, the eldest daughter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti, has taken a firm political stance against alcohol consumption in Jammu and Kashmir, urging public support for the party’s campaign to ban liquor in the Union Territory.
In a video message on X, Irtiqa called on people to join the movement, emphasizing that banning alcohol is only the first step. “Please be a part of our fight against alcohol and addiction. Sign our digital signature campaign, which I will be linking in my bio soon. But remember, the ban is just the beginning. To make it effective, we need to educate people on the dangers of alcohol and drugs,” she said.
Highlighting the need for rehabilitation instead of social ostracization, she added, “Instead of shunning addicts and leaving them to die, we must establish proper rehabilitation centers to help them recover. If you’re struggling with addiction, please reach out for help.”
