Srinagar, Jan 13 (UNI) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Monday criticized Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing him of “normalizing Delhi’s unilateral actions of August 2019.”
Mufti accused the Chief Minister of adopting an “appeasement approach” toward Delhi.
Drawing a comparison of Abdullah’s approach with her late father, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the PDP chief highlighted his leadership during challenging times in 2003, when despite having only 16 MLAs, his father earned the trust of then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for his vision of peace with dignity in Jammu and Kashmir
“Difference between a shortsighted politician & a true statesman. In 2003 then BJP PM Vajpayee during his visit to Srinagar showed great faith in Mufti sahab’s vision of peace with dignity even though PDP had a mere 16 MLAs,” Mufti posted on X.
“ Today our CM despite 50 MLAs did everything to appease & normalise Delhi’s unilateral actions in August 2019 that cleaved & robbed J&K of its special status,” she added.
Mufti also shared a video clip of Omar Abdullah’s Sonamarg speech with Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s address in Srinagar.
