The row around Yasin Malik has again ignited after former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Friday, in a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urged to view the case of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief through "humanitarian lens", reported news agency ANI.

Mufti, in a post on social media platform X, wrote that even though she differed with the political ideologies of Malik, it was "impossible to ignore the courage for him to renounce violence and choose the path of political engagement".
