Will Mehbooba chant 'Bharat mata ki jai', Sena taunts BJP

March 28, 2016 10:15

With Mehbooba Mufti set to take oath as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, the Shiv Sena has questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party-People's Democratic Party alliance in the state and asked whether the PDP chief would raise 'Bharat Mata ki jai' slogans now.

An article published in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece, Saamana, said that Mehbboba's links with the Separatists in Kashmir have always remained a debatable issue. The article further goes on to say that the PDP chief is sympathetic towards the anti-national elements.

"The most important thing is that Mehbooba Mufti and the BJP were never comfortable together. Mehbooba bai's anti-national statements, her association with the separatists, have always remained controversial. Bai sahib (Mehbooba) has been sympathetic towards those raising anti-national slogans in Kashmir," the Saamna article said.

"Therefore, BJP would be happy that she is set to become the Chief Minister with their support but the nation is worried...These days a debate is going on in the nation over nationalism. So, will Mehbooba Mufti say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'? Such questions are being asked," it added.
