The BJP has criticized Mufti for referring to the slain Hezbollah leader.

Why does Hassan Nasrullah’s death hurt Mehbooba Mufti? When Hindus are attacked and killed in Bangladesh, they remain silent. Today, when a Hezbollah commander is killed, they cancel the campaign for a day. These are crocodile tears and people understand the intention behind them. This kind of conspiracy will do nothing. We should talk on humanitarian lines,” former J&K deputy CM Kavinder Gupta was quoted as saying by ANI.
