SRINAGAR: Criticising the Enforcement Directorate summons to former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, People”s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) chairperson Farooq Abdullah on Friday said “political vendetta” would not help in improving the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Centre should “put an end to this kind of vendetta” and allow democratic processes to continue smoothly, said Abdullah, also a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
