India’s govt wants to keep Kashmir pot boiling to use it in elections to garner votes: Mehbooba Mufti

SRINAGAR, March 04 (SABAH): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief, Mehbooba Mufti has said that Narenda Modi-led BJP government wants to keep the pot boiling in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to garner more votes in elections in India.

Mehbooba Mufti in a tweet said, in the name of fighting militancy, government employees are dismissed arbitrarily and houses attached without giving the families any chance to avail the due legal course. This is collective punishment for innocent families and upends their lives, she said.

The PDP chief said the “muscular iron fisted policy” may appeal to the BJP vote bank in India, but in Jammu and Kashmir, it is not only wreaking lives but further alienating people of Jammu and Kashmir.

“The government of India wants to keep the Kashmir pot boiling to use it in elections to garner votes,” she added.
