In a post on ‘X’, Mufti said that under Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s Government, South Kashmir witnessed major developments, including the establishment of the Islamic University of Science and Technology, a University Campus, a Medical College, and AIIMS “all within a short span.”
In contrast, she stated, despite decades in power, “NC can’t point to a single comparable project in this region.”
Earlier, after reviewing the progress of AIIMS Awantipora, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had said its location was chosen on “political considerations” rather than feasibility.
“Their criticism of AIIMS’s location only reflects their indifference and apathy toward South Kashmir,” Mufti said.
She alleged that while NC “often chose flood-prone sites to benefit their own people, the PDP selected locations based on public interest, not political favoritism.”
