| ‘Imagine the anger if I’d fielded a terror accused’: Mehbooba Mufti slams BJP over Sadhvi Pragya joining party | | Mehbooba Mufti has been leaving no stone unturned to hit out at the BJP ever since it walked out of the alliance in Jammu and Kashmir last year. | | Srinagar: On a day when Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, who is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, announced that she is joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and will be contesting the Lok Sabha Elections, Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti has hit back at the ruling party at the Centre.
In reference to Sadhvi Pragya’s move, Mufti, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, asked what would happen if her party had fielded a terror accused in elections. The media would have gone berserk, she added.
Taking aim at the BJP without naming it, Mufti said terrorism has no religion when it concerns ‘saffron fanatics’ but all Muslims are otherwise terrorists.
“Imagine the anger if I’d field a terror accused. Channels would’ve gone berserk by now trending a mehboobaterrorist hashtag! According to these guys terror has no religion when it comes to saffron fanatics but otherwise all Muslims are terrorists. Guilty until proven innocent (sic),” the PDP chief wrote on Twitter.

Mufti has been leaving no stone unturned to hit out at the BJP ever since it walked out of the alliance in Jammu and Kashmir last year, leading to the collapse of the state government. The state has been under President’s / Governor’s Eule since then.
Her latest attack came after Sadhvi Pragya joined the BJP at the party office in Bhopal today.
"I have formally joined the BJP; I will contest the elections and win," she said.
It has been speculated that Sadhvi Pragya could be fielded against former Madhya Pradesh CM and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal. She today met ex-state CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other senior BJP leaders at the party office.
Sadhvi Pragya was named in the charge sheet of the Malegaon blast in which seven people were killed in September 2008. She was jailed for nine years before being released on bail. |
