The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti hit out at the L-G administration and said that the government wants to give the youth a bottle of alcohol instead of a job.

“Opening of liquor stores will not be allowed in Kashmir, voices will be raised against it and this will not be allowed to happen in Kashmir,” Mufti said.

Mehbooba Mufti said that the administration was deliberately troubling youth as it has failed to provide employment to them.

In response to a question regarding the dismissal of the police, Mehbooba Mufti said that no action is taken against those who are involved in real corruption, but they fell the sword on small employees.

She further said horticulture is being destroyed under a conspiracy, and called upon people to fight it.
