Modi supported my government during difficult time: Mufti

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Sayeed on Sunday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for supporting her government during the “difficult time” last year.

Mufti, apparently referring to the law and order situation in Kashmir Valley after the July 8 killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani, said Modi ensured that the state government survived the situation.

Mufti was addressing a rally here after Modi inaugurated the state-of-the-art Chenani-Nashri tunnel, at nearly 11 km the longest in the country.
