Year after Mufti’s death, son Tassaduq joins PDP
Srinagar: Tassaduq Hussain Mufti, the son of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, joined the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a function to commemorate his father’s first death anniversary on Saturday.
“I have remained aloof from politics all my life. But today I have joined the PDP officially and it is a very important day of my life. Iwill walk with you and take your aspirations along,” he said in the presence of his sister and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and other PDP ministers.
Addressing party workers, he further said, “I hope to bring about peace and prosperity in the state and create a situation where common man and VIPs will walk together. My endeavour is to carry forward my father’s mission.”
Sources in PDP told Mirror that Tassaduq will contest Parliament election from South Kashmir.
Afamed cinematographer, Tassaduq had joined the American Film Institute and had become an acclaimed cinematographer who, apart from shooting commercials, was also part of Bollywood movies like Omkara and Kaminey - both directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Welcoming her brother into the party fold, Mehbooba said Tassaduq – like his father – has a dream to do something for the state.
“Tassaduq has his own identity and his own work. No one in Mumbai knew him as Mufti Sayeed’s son till his second term (as chief minister),” said Mehbooba. He is known in Bollywood as Tassaduq Hussain and does not use the famous Mufti surname.

NEW DELHI: Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has been accused of many things since he took charge as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday. Hurriyat apparatchiks have called him an Indian stooge. Indians of different political denominations have questioned his loyalty to the country’s constitution.
Pakistan, unsurprisingly, sees him as Delhi’s ploy to undermine its own influence in the disputed region. The Pakistan high commission in Delhi refused a visa to a spokesman for the Mufti’s Peoples Democratic Party. He was going to present his party’s post-election perspective to a Track-II meeting in Islamabad. Pakistanis didn’t want that.
The Urdu verse seems to fit the man nicely: Zaahid-i-tang nazar ne mujhe kaafir jaana/ Aur kaafir ye samajhta hai Musalmaa’n hoo’n mai’n. (The narrow-minded mullah believes I am a Hindu. The Hindu sees me as a devout Muslim.)

After a fractured verdict in the elections to the Srinagar assembly, a more honest assessment of the 79-year-old leader might show he had done for Kashmir something that was as unthinkable as it was ever before.
The Mufti has single-handedly and very quietly got the ultra-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to its knees. His cabinet, including BJP MLAs, took the oath of office swearing allegiance to the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, not India. This is the oath that his predecessors too had taken, but this was also the very oath that the BJP had sworn to abolish.
What else did the Mufti do that day? He made Prime Minister Narendra Modi sit at a swearing-in ceremony at which there were two sovereign flags — the Indian tricolour and the Kashmiri flag with its characteristic plough. The plough represents land reforms carried out under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullah, Indian Kashmir’s first post-independence leader of significance. It is said even India’s Left Front could not implement such far-reaching and equita
