| Bickering in PAGD: Now, NC leader charges Mehbooba with befooling people on Art 370 | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 5: War of words among leaders of the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has intensified as workers of both parties seize every opportunity to demonize each other.
Days after the youth wing president of PDP Wahid Parra attacked the National Conference for rigging the infamous 1987 assembly elections, former MLA and senior National Conference leader advocate Abdul Majeed Larmi charged Mehbooba Mufti with befooling people in the name of Article 370.
Former MLA from the Homeshalibugh, who is also district president of the party’s Kulgam unit, pointed out that the National Conference leadership including former Chief Minister is camping at New Delhi during the ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court.
“Except for giving statements from Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti has done nothing concrete in the ongoing legal battle to restore Article 370”, Larmi alleged and added that the PDP president is only giving statements to befool the people but in a real sense she has least bothered about the restoration of the special status of J&K.
