Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Friday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should be grateful to the Sheikh family for implementing their agenda in J&K.
“The BJP should thank the Sheikh family for destroying Jammu and Kashmir,” Mufti said .
“When Omar Abdullah was in power with BJP as foreign minister, he would roam around the world negating the Kashmir issue.”
Mufti criticized the BJP, emphasizing that the party’s “muscular policy” would not work in Kashmir.
She recalled her father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s coalition government with the BJP, saying, “We formed a government with them after they stayed at our door for three months.
Mufti also highlighted the conditions set by her party, including not tampering with Article 370, opening more roads and initiating dialogue with Pakistan and Hurriyat.
The former Chief Minister slammed the BJP’s failure to deliver on promises, including job creation. “They said they would create 2 crore jobs every year, but after lynching Muslims and demolishing mosques, they are now remembering Pakistan,” she said.
Mufti also referenced Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif’s statement in Srinagar, where he echoed the National Conference and Congress’s manifesto. “The BJP will fail in every field,” she predicted. (KNS).
