Abdullahs-Muftis: Omar, Mehbooba mock Modi’s remarks

Former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that three generations of the state were destroyed by Abdullah and Muftis.

Reacting to Modi’s assertions, Omar tweeted: “’We have to rid J&K of these two political families’ says Modi ji in 2014 & then promptly goes & makes not one but TWO members of the Mufti family CM of J&K. In 2019 Modi Ji says “we have to rid J&K of these two political families”. Another jumla Modi Ji? (sic)”

Questioning the Prime Minister’s wisdom on stitching alliances with political families, Mehbooba in a tweet said, “Why does PM bash political families pre-elections & then sends his envoys to stitch alliances with the very same parties? NC in 99 & PDP in 2015. Why do they choose power over Article 370 then? BJP with its noxious agenda of banishing Muslims & minorities wants to divide India (sic).”

Earlier, Modi while addressing an election rally in Kathua district of Jammu said, “Three generations of the state got destroyed by Abdullahs and Muftis. But I am standing like a wall in front of them. This Chowkidar is here to throw them out of power.”
