MEHBOOBA MUFTI SAYS ELECTIONS NO SOLUTION TO J&K ISSUE, BJP HITS BACK

Ravinder Raina, chief of the BJP’s J&K unit, on Sunday said that the only mission of the “Gupkar gang” is to look and make the Union Territory bleed.

“Gupkar gang has only one mission that is to loot and make J&K bleed,” he said. His assertions came soon after PDP president Mehbooba Mufti in a press conference on Sunday said that elections are no solution to the Kashmir issue and it can be resolved only by having a dialogue with Pakistan.

Accusing the PAGD leadership for batting for China and Pakistan, Raina said that in the past 70 years they have sucked the blood of common people of J&K. He also claimed that there is a wave in favour of the BJP in the Union Territory. Raina in a video message on Sunday evening, while hitting back at Mehbooba Mufti, said: “Those who have betrayed the nation will find themselves behind the bars soon.”

Earlier Mehbooba Mufti, in a press conference, said that if Article 370 has resolved all the problems in Kashmir, “why are 9 lakh troops still on the street here”.

She stressed for a dialogue with Pakistan and people of Jammu and Kashmir and accused the BJP government of being communal. “When they are talking to China even after they have grabbed our land, what is wrong in talking to Pakistan? Is it about being a Muslim country because everything is communal now?”

She accused the authorities of not allowing the PAGD leadership and candidates to campaign in J&K in the current DDC elections. “Our candidates have no security while BJP candidates and other puppets are campaigning with security. Still they are rattled by our participation”.
