| Mufti threatens legal action against Meghalaya Governor | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 20: Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday threatened legal action against Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik for his comments that she was a beneficiary of the Roshni scheme.
Mufti took to twitter and shared a over two minute video wherein the former Governor of J & K Malik accuses her, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah of getting benefits under the Roshni scheme.
“False & unsavoury utterances of Satya Pal Malik about me being a beneficiary of Roshni Act is highly mischievous. My legal team is preparing to sue him. He has the option to withdraw his comments, failing which I will pursue legal recourse,” Mehbooba tweeted.
The Roshi Act was brought by the then National Conference government led by Farooq Abdullah to give ownership to people in possession of state land, with a cut-off of 1990, in lieu of charges. The scheme turned out to be controversial after many allegations of corruption surfaced.
In October 2018, then Governor Satya Pal Malik repealed the Roshni Act prospectively. |
