Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti, has caused controversy over her comments after a viral video emerged where some Muslim boys were allegedly beaten up with slippers and made to chant "Jai Shri Ram."

Statement on X by Iltija about the Viral Video

A video uploaded by user Shireen Khan shows a minor boy beating up other Muslim boys with slippers, forcing them to chant "Jai Shri Ram." One boy was allegedly slapped and his head smashed against a wall after he uttered "Allah." The video has gone viral and caused an outrage on social media.

In reaction to this, Iltija Mufti said, "Even Lord Ram would hang his head in shame seeing such acts. Beating minor boys just because they refused to utter his name is disgraceful." She further said, "Hindutva is a disease that has infected millions of Indians and tarnished God's name."
