Inaugurating flights cosmetic steps, won’t address actual problem in J-K: Mehbooba on Amit Shah’s visit

The former chief minister alleged that prior to Mr. Shah’s visit, 700 civilians were detained, booked under the Public Safety Act and many shifted to jails outside Kashmir.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president on Saturday said Union Home Minister inaugurating international flights and medical colleges were cosmetic steps that will not address the “actual” problem in .
She said ideally the home minister’s visit should have been preceded by a follow up on assurances given to leaders of the union territory during the all-party meeting convened by the prime minister in June this year.
“HM inaugurating international flights from Srinagar & laying foundation of new medical colleges isn’t new. Half a dozen medical colleges were sanctioned by UPA gov(ernment) & are functional now. Post Article 370 abrogation & an engineered crisis, J&K has been thrown into chaos,” Ms. Mufti said in a series of tweets.
