Srinagar, Jan 16: The National Conference (NC) took a dig at former chief minister and president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mehbooba Mufti for her contradictory statement on forming government with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir.
Tanvir Sadiq, senior NC leader and advisor to party vice-president Omar Abdullah, asked Ms Mehbooba about the factors that forced her to align with BJP since her two statements on the issue are contradictory.
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter Tanvir said, “A potential split in the party forced me to form the government with the BJP 2) We aligned with BJP to resolve the issue of Kashmir”.
“Madam @MehboobaMufti Ji, all this sounds contradictory , can you please make up your mind why precisely you aligned with @BJP4India”, he further said.
Ms Mehbooba, who resigned after the BJP pulled out from her coalition government, had advocated dialogue with militants and Pakistan on Tuesday. However, her visit to families of militants recently also came under severe criticism from BJP leaders. Omar Abdullah and other NC leaders questioned her as to why she was not visiting these families when she was in power.
