Mehbooba Mufti retaliates to Amit Shah’s attack says, ‘Fighting elections in alliance also anti-national now

Srinagar: After  Home Minister Amit Shah’s scathing attack on the Gupkar Alliance , Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday has reacted to it on social media. Writing on Twitter that “old habits die hard”, Mufti asked whether contesting in polls had also become “anti-national”. Hitting out at BJP,  Mufti said it was the ruling party at the Centre that continues to violate the Constitution. She further accused the saffron party of going in for alliances in its hunger for power.

Hours after Amit Shah’s scathing attack at the J&K alliance, which he dubbed as “Gupkar Gang”, Mufti wrote,  “Old habits die hard. Earlier BJPs narrative was that the tukde tukde gang threatened India’s sovereignty & they are now using ‘Gupkar Gang’ euphemism to project us as anti nationals. Irony died a million deaths since its BJP itself that violates the constitution day in & day out.”  She further added, “Fighting elections in an alliance is also anti-national now. BJP can stitch as many alliances in its hunger for power but somehow we are undermining national interest by putting up a united front."

She rued that the BJP had added ‘love jihad, tukde tukde and Gupkar Gang’ to the political discourse instead of focussing on issues that concern the common man. In an another Tweet she wrote, “BJPs stale tactic of dividing India by projecting themselves as saviours & political opponents as internal & imagined enemies is far too predictable now. Love jihad, tukde tukde & now Gupkar Gang dominates the political discourse instead of like rising unemployment & inflation."
