Mehbooba Mufti lambasts former president Kovind

NEW DELHI, July 25 (SABAH): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has said that former President Ram Nath Kovind had left behind a legacy of the country’s constitution being “trampled upon umpteen times” and accused him of working to the BJP’s political agenda.

Droupadi Murmu took over as India’s new President after an oath ceremony in the Central Hall of Parliament, followed by her ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Soon after her oath, her predecessor Ram Nath Kovind was targeted by Mehbooba Mufti on Monday.

“The outgoing President leaves behind a legacy where the Indian Constitution was trampled upon umpteenth times. Be it scrapping of Article 370, CAA or the unabashed targeting of minorities & Dalits, he fulfilled BJP’s political agenda at the cost of the Indian Constitution,” Mehbooba Mufti, the chief of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said.
