BJP damaging integrity of Delimitation Commission: Mehbooba Mufti

RAMBAN — Former Chief Minister and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is badly damaging the integrity of the Delimitation Commission, which otherwise is an institution of repute.

While talking to media persons on the sidelines of a party convention in Ramban district, she said that Delimitation Commission is an institution of repute and respect but BJP has badly damaged its image, that too for personal political gains.

Mehbooba Mufti, however, refused to comment about Assembly elections.

Mufti said that PDP has increased its youth connect programmes as the youth in Jammu and Kashmir are the worst sufferers due to unemployment and other factors.

Replying to a question over The Kashmir Files movie, she said that it would have been better if BJP would have paid some concern towards the upliftment and betterment of Kashmiri Pandits. “BJP should have done things for the betterment of KPs rather than promoting this movie,” she added.

The former chief minister accused the BJP of spreading hatred in the society and dividing people in the name of religion.
