BJP Responds Strongly to Iltija Mufti’s “Hindutva a Disease” Comment

Iltija Mufti’s recent statement, where she labeled Hindutva as a “disease,” has sparked intense political and ideological debate in India. The daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, Iltija’s remarks came in the context of criticizing the growing influence of Hindutva ideologies, which she believes are dividing the country and marginalizing minorities, particularly Muslims.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), known for its affiliation with Hindutva ideology, quickly condemned Iltija Mufti’s comment, accusing her of deepening religious divides. BJP leaders like spokesperson Sambit Patra and others demanded an apology, asserting that such language was harmful to social harmony. They argued that it not only disrespected Hinduism but also fueled further polarization between communities.

The BJP also accused Iltija of using inflammatory rhetoric to gain political mileage, especially at a time when discussions on religious identity and nationalism are at the forefront of Indian politics. This incident underscores the widening ideological rift between BJP and opposition parties, especially in regions like Jammu and Kashmir, where the political discourse is deeply intertwined with the region’s religious and cultural dynamics.

The controversy is also reflective of the larger debate in India on the rise of Hindutva, a movement that has gained significant prominence under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Supporters of the ideology claim it is rooted in preserving India’s ancient Hindu culture, while critics, including Iltija Mufti, argue that it undermines the country’s pluralistic and secular traditions.

Iltija’s remarks have ignited a war of words on social media and across political platforms, with her supporters defending her right to express concern over the growing influence of Hindutva. However, the BJP’s stern response indicates how deeply entrenched these ideological battles have become in the country, especially as India’s political climate becomes more polarized in the run-up to upcoming elections​
