Gautam Gambhir, the newly-elected MP of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, once again took to Twitter to slam former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for attacking Home Minister Amit Shah.
Mehbooba Mufti had criticised Amit Shah for resorting to “brute force” to “quick fix” the Kashmir issue which, she said, would be “ridiculously naive”.
Taking to Twitter, Gautam Gambhir said that terming Amit Shah’s process is “brute” is “ridiculously naïve”. The newly elected BJP MP also said that if oppression can ensure security, “so be it”.
“While I am all for a talk-based solution to Kashmir problem but for @mehboobamufti to term Shri @AmitShah’s process as ‘brute’ is ‘ridiculously naïve’. History has been witness to our patience and endurance. But if oppression ensures security for my people, then so be it,” Gautam Gambhir said.
Mehbooba Mufti on Monday called for a political solution of the Kashmir issue by involving all “stakeholders” including, she said, Pakistan. She also accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of resorting to “brute force” to “quick fix” the problem, which, she said, would be “ridiculously naive”.
She tweeted, “Since 1947, Kashmir’s been looked through the prism of security by successive governments. It’s a political problem that needs a political redressal by involving all stakeholders including Pak. Expecting a quick fix through brute force by newly appointed HM is ridiculously naive.”
Amit Shah on Monday took stock of the country’s internal security situation at a meeting in New Delhi where the Union Home Minister was apprised of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir too, particularly in its border areas.
During the Lok Sabha elections, Mehbooba Mufti had blocked Gautam Gambhir after exchanging sharp barbs with him.
Gautam Gambhir had a go at the PDP leader after she claimed that scrapping Article 370 will mean India’s Constitution will no longer be applicable in the state and that if Indians do not understand it, they will “disappear” and their “story will be over”.
He retorted to her remarks, saying “This is India not a blot like you that it will disappear,” drawing a sharp response from Mehbooba Mufti. She said, “Hope your political innings in the BJP is not as abysmal as your cricket career.”
