DAUGHTER WANTS MEHBOOBA’S NAME CHANGED IN PASSPORT

SRINAGAR: The elder daughter of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has sought to change her mother’s name in her passport to Mehbooba Syed.

A notice stating this was published in a local newspaper by Irtiqa Javed. “I, Irtiqa Javed, daughter of Javed Iqbal Shah Resident of Fairview House Gupkar Road, Srinagar, Kashmir 190001 want to change the name of my mother in my passport from Mehbooba Mufti to Mehbooba Syed. “If anybody has any objection regarding the same may please contact the concerned authorities within the period of seven days after that no objections will be entertained,” the notice read.

Mehbooba Mufti and her husband are not living together.

The couple have two daughters —Iltija and Irtiqa. While the younger daughter has followed in the footsteps of her mother and taken on the Mufti surname, the elder one appears to be closer to her father. Mehbooba is currently under detention at her official residence here that has been declared a subsidiary jail.
