Jammu, March 4 : Cabinet Minister Sakeena Itoo on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference (JKPC) chairman Sajad Gani Lone, accusing them of aiding the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the abrogation of Article 370.
“Everyone knows what PDP and Sajad Lone did when they were in alliance with the BJP. These parties helped BJP in abrogating Article 370 and destroying Jammu and Kashmir,” Itoo told reporters according to news agency KINS.
Her remarks came in response to Sajad Lone’s walkout from the Assembly and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti’s appeal to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to make efforts for the restoration of Article 370.
Lashing out at the opposition, Itoo said that those who once shared power with the BJP are now trying to portray themselves as the saviors of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status. She accused them of political opportunism and misleading the people for electoral gains. (KINS)
