Perform or people will teach a lesson, J-K CM Mehbooba Mufti tells ministers

April 05, 2016 10:19

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minster Mehbooba Mufti allocated portfolios to her team of ministers overnight and told the ministers to "perform or people will teach a lesson".

Chairing her first cabinet meeting late Monday night after she took over as the first woman chief minister of country's only Muslim majority state, Mufti told her ministerial colleagues: "Perform or else the people will teach you a lesson."

Having already lost nearly three months in re-stitching an alliance her late father Mufti Muhammad Sayeed had tailored by calling it 'the meeting of the north and the south', Mufti settled down to administrative business immediately after being sworn on Monday.
