Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday hit out at Karan Singh over his remarks on Article 370.
“Karan Singh’s father Maharaja Hari Singh had himself laid the foundation of Article 370. Today, he is singing a different tune,” Mehbooba was quoted by local news gathering agency.
She also expressed dismay over the remarks of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah. “The year 2020 will also be Jammu and Kashmir’s deadline to the country,” Mehbooba said according to the report.
Earlier, Mehbooba, who was accompanied by her senior party members, filed the nomination paper for the Anantnag Lok Sabha seat.
On the occasion, the former chief minister also remembered her father for his support and guidance.
“Filed my nomination from Anantnag constituency for #LokSabha2019. Was overcome with emotion since this is the first election Ill contest without my fathers guidance & support. But am confident that my people will restore their faith in PDP. Its an honour to fight for them,” she tweeted soon after filing her nomination papers.
