“I hope and I will request the Government of India that nothing should happen that would have a negative impact on Jammu and Kashmir, where the situation is already bad,” Mehbooba told the media during an interaction following her public address in Srinagar.

Mehbooba said political parties should stay away from the JNU issue and the case should be left for courts to solve. “There are many people (responsible for the crisis in JNU)… you cannot hold only one responsible,” she said. “Now, it has come to known that the video (which claimed to show arrested JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar allegedly shouting “anti-national” slogans) was doctored. Why was a doctored video aired? Then politicians jumped in… It was politicised.”
