Kundan Kashmiri KPC Chief while speaking to his party activists here today stated that democracy has turned into mobocracy and majoritarianism has dominated rule of law in the Kashmir valley. He further said that some elements in Government, Geelani and other separatists are hand to glove with each other to disturb the Valley and weaken the relations of Kashmir with rest of India. He said Mufti has hidden agenda to accomplish, that is why he is encouraging the pro-Pak elements and separatist and giving them liberty to act as per their wishes and whims.
Kashmiri further stated that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is playing with dangerous game which will be disastrous for the national interests.
He demanded that under these circumstances BJP must forthwith snap its ties with PDP which will be in the greater interest of the nation.
