Mehbooba’s tweet on Kashmir situation reflects frustration, hopelessness: Kavinder

‘PDP on ‘death-bed’; PAGD providing life support system’

STATE TIMES NEWS

JAMMU: Taking a hard stance, senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta on Sunday castigated former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for sharing a concocted tweet over Kashmir scenario, claiming that the act reflects the quantum of her frustration and despair as there are no more takers for her party and views in the Valley.
In a statement issued to media persons, the BJP stalwart said that contrary to the depiction made by Mehbooba, the scenario in Valley is full of hope and the people are standing shoulder to shoulder with the government led by PM Narendra Modi.
He said unlike PDP and its ilk’s times when the shutdowns, terror attacks, deaths of innocents, closure of schools was a norm, today the scenario has been changed to about 180 degrees as shutdowns, stone pelting, terror attacks and school closures have become a thing of the past.
“What is to be seen today is the flocks of tourists visiting the Valley and having good times with their families and friends, and in turn ensuring the good times for the common masses of Kashmir”, he said adding that the tourist influx has broken the records of last 75 years under the BJP government.
He said that it is an open secret that PDP and other parties in Kashmir are on ‘death bed’ and their last hope is PAGD but deep inside their hearts, the leaders of these parties including the PDP know well that even PAGD cannot do much for their parties’ survival although it is providing life support system to the same for the last few years.
