She accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of carrying of “sheer political vendetta” against political leaders of Jammu and Kashmir.

The former J&K Chief Minister also accused the saffron party of using central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to “settle scores”.

Taking to her official Twitter handle, Mehbooba Mufti said, “Attaching Dr Farooq sahab’s properties is sheer political vendetta as was evident from the abuses heaped on PAGD by BJP.
