SRINAGAR: Opposition National Conference today hit out at Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for her remarks that the five-month unrest in Kashmir was “well-planned”, claiming she was shying away from taking responsibility in an attempt to distort the ground reality in the Valley.
“Mehbooba’s stand that the 2016 agitation was pre-planned is not only an obfuscation of responsibility but also an attempt to distort the ground reality in Kashmir.
“The CM’s fluctuating stands since July not only worsened the situation but also added salt to the wounds of grieving families with whom she is now trying to express empathy,” NC state spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu said.
Speaking in the State Assembly yesterday, the chief minister had said the unrest took place under a “well-planned conspiracy”.
Mattu asked if the unrest was “pre-planned by Pakistan and Hurriyat”, why did Mehbooba’s father late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed thank Pakistan and Hurriyat as soon as he took over as the chief minister. (AGENCIES)
