Mehbooba Mufti slams Farooq Abdullah over his Hurriyat remark

Mehbooba said Abdullah is not concerned about the struggle in the Valley because since 1947 till now, NC has only struggled for power.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today slammed National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah for his remarks that his party is not against separatist Hurriyat, saying it showed that the Opposition party was behind the violence in the Valley over last few months. She alleged that NC wants to keep the atmosphere charged in the Valley as it “can go to any extent for power”.

“He (Abdullah) used to say that Hurriyat leaders should be thrown into river Jhelum. Today he is talking about something else. It again makes it clear that NC will play with the lives of anyone, including children and women, for power,” Mehbooba told reporters here.
