Referring to the incident when action was taken against those who cheered for Pakistan during a India-Pakistan cricket match, Mehbooba Mufti recalled that during AB Vajpayee's regime, citizens of the two countries were cheering for each other.
People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday alleged that "Gandhi's India" is turning into "Godse's India".
Referring to the recent incidents when action was taken against those who cheered for Pakistan during a India-Pakistan cricket match, Ms Mufti recalled that during former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's regime, citizens of the two countries were cheering for each other.
"I remember a cricket match between India and Pakistan during Vajpayee ji's era, where citizens of Pakistan were cheering for India and citizens of India were cheering for Pakistan. And former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf also praised the then Indian captain MS Dhoni," said PDP chief .
"But some days ago in Agra, when some youngsters cheered for the Pakistan cricket team during a match with India, not a single lawyer was ready to take their case, so it feels like Gandhi's India is turning into Godse's India," she added.
