Mushtaq Ahmed Shah Bukhari, a former minister and BJP candidate from Surankote, died on Wednesday after collapsing at his home in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. He was 75 years old and is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son. 

Bukhari had been unwell for some time and suffered a heart attack at 7 a.m., party leaders said. Bukhari, a two-time MLA from Surankote, joined the BJP in February after the Center granted Scheduled Tribe status to hill communities, of which he was a member and was fielded as the BJP candidate in Surankote in the ongoing Assembly elections on September 25, where the elections were held in the districts.

Bukhari quit the National Assembly after 40 years in 2022 amid a disagreement with party president Farooq Abdullah over the Scheduled Tribe status.

Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina and leaders of other political parties expressed grief. Raina described Bukhari as a “leader of the people” and said his death “left a void that is very difficult to fill”.
