Mehbooba hits out at Karan Singh, Amit Shah

Srinagar, April 3: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti Wednesday said Karan Singh’s father Maharaja Hari Singh had himself laid the foundation of Article 370.

“Today he is singing a different tune,” she said in response to the Congress leader’s statement that it was Centre which had given J&K its special status.

She also condemned BJP leader Amit Shah’s statement that Article 370 will be removed by 2020.

“2020 will then also be J&K’s deadline to the country,” she said.

Mufti said AFSPA revocation and other pledges in Congress manifesto related to Jammu and Kashmir were same as PDP-BJP agenda of alliance. (GNS)
