Mehbooba Mufti Is Role Model For All Women, Say Her Daughters

While Mehbooba Mufti, who took oath on Monday as Jammu and Kashmir's first woman chief minister, may be facing a tough challenge on the political front, her family is strongly backing her and wants her to step into the shoes of her father. "I think it is a big day for women everywhere, especially women in Kashmir. She is a role model for women everywhere, I hope seeing her more women will step out and do whatever they want to do," Irtika, the elder daughter of Ms Mufti, told NDTV. Her younger daughter Iltija said "My mother is a sort of person who takes advice from everyone but eventually the decision is always hers, she doesn't come under pressure."
