Mehbooba terms NIA as ‘pet agency’ of Centre

SRINAGAR — PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said that history will remember Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for standing up to the “present dictatorial regime”.

Taking to Twitter, Mufti said it is a fact that “new India is in the grip of a select few” and Gandhi is the only politician who dares to speak the truth.

“Ridicule Rahul Gandhi all you want but he’s the only politician who dares to speak the truth. It’s a fact that new India is in the grip of a select few & crony capitalists. History will remember him for standing up to the present dictatorial regime (sic),” the People’s Democratic Party President, Mehbooba Mufti said in a tweet.

In another tweet, she said the Centre had “unleashed” its “pet agency” – the National Investigation Agency (NIA) – on farmer unions protesting against the three farmer laws.

“GOI’s pet agency NIA is now being unleashed on farmer unions. The rot that has set into India’s premier terror investigative agency can be gauged from the manner in which they are fabricating charges on Kashmiris, farmers & those who dare to dissent,” she said.
