Sanjay Raut targets BJP over Mehbooba Mufti's comments on Kashmir
India Today
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut replied to Mehbooba Mufti's statement that peace would be elusive in Kashmir until the Centre holds dialogue with Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
A day after Mehbooba Mufti remarked that peace would be elusive in Kashmir until the Centre holds dialogue with Pakistan and people of Jammu and Kashmir, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the PDP chief could make such comments as the BJP had given people like her strength by forming government with her party in the erstwhile state.
Talking to reporters, Sanjay Raut said the Mufti-led People's Democratic Party (PDP) was a “friend” of the BJP at some point of time.
The PDP has been “pro-Pakistan and sympathises with terrorists” right from the beginning, he claimed.
Notably, the PDP and BJP had come together to form a government in Jammu and Kashmir in 2015. The alliance broke in June 2018.
Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday reiterated her call to the BJP-led government at the Centre for a dialogue with Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Sanjay Raut said Mehbooba Mufti had supported Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and still, the BJP had formed a government by forming an alliance with her party in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Now, the same Mehbooba Mufti wants dialogue with Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue. This is a sin of the BJP," Sanjay Raut alleged.
