Centre’s decisions put our land, resources, employment on sale: Mehbooba Mufti

SRINAGAR — The kinds of decrees issued from Delhi after August 5, 2019, are a pointer to the fact that our land, employment, resources and all other things are being put on sale, said People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday.

On the sideline of a function at her Gupkar residence, Mufti, as per news agency Kashmir Dot Com, hinted that the outsiders have been holding sway on the lands, jobs and resources here and said, “the Centre would wipe out our existence if we would not act together, resist and condemn such things.”

Replying to a reporter’s query regarding the jailing of youth, the PDP chief said that she had apprised Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha about the matter during a recent meeting and told him that the situation in Kashmir would not change if such things are not stopped immediately.

While pointing out the restrictions being put on her movement, she said that they (regional parties) now need to find a space in the prevailing atmosphere to defeat the Centre’s sinister designs. “The Centre is afraid of political activities and they have left no stone unturned to defame us,” she said.

“The situation which has been created by BJP in Kashmir has forced the youth to join militancy,” she said, adding that the bloodshed and repression in Kashmir seem to be used by BJP to secure votes in other states but such policy would not yield anything.

Regarding the remarks made over Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) by BJP’s National Spokesperson Nupur Sharma, Mehbooba Mufti said that the judiciary should take a suo moto action against such acts.
