Gambhir, Mehbooba trade barbs on Kashmir

NEW DELHI: Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who recently sparred with Omar Abdullah on the issue of autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday exchanged sharp barbs with another former J&K chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti, who ended up blocking him on Twitter.

Gambhir, who joined BJP last month, had a go at the PDP leader after she claimed that scrapping Article 370 will mean India’s Constitution will no longer be applicable in the State and that if Indians do not understand it, they will “disappear” and their “story will be over”.

Gambhir retorted to her remarks, saying “This is India not a blot like you that it will disappear,” drawing a sharp response from Mufti.

She said, “Hope your political innings in the BJP is not as abysmal as your cricket career.”(AGENCIES)
