The Former Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that statement by Nupur Sharma of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against Prophet Muhammad was not a coincidence, but it was “well planned” strategy to deviate attention from Government of India’s failure to protect Kashmiri Pandits.
Addressing a press conference, she asked, “Why Nupur Sharma is not being arrested? Nupur Sharma’s statement has tremendously hurt the sentiments of Muslims across the globe and her remarks on Prophet Muhammad were a deliberate act, it was planned. Nupur Sharma’s remarks were on well-settled grounds so that the Muslims in the country get provoked and the government get a chance to act on them.”
The Chief of People’s Democratic Party also slammed BJP over Enforcement Directorate’s summon to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case and said that the saffron party uses the state’s institutions as their tools to silence the voices of those critical to their policies.
“Rahul Gandhi has always been at forefront of raising issues of common people and summoning him is meant to muzzle his voice. This is a witch hunt,” the former J&K CM said.
