AAP gives ‘walkover’ to other parties in LS polls in UP
AAP proved its growing hold in UP by winning 100 seats in the municipal elections but could not carry forward the trust that the public expressed in the party in the state.
She suggested, “India is a great country and democracy is a battle of ideas. Lets not make a mockery of those very institutions and people.”
Reacting to BJP general secretary Ram Madhav’s “instructions from Pakistan” remark, former Chief Minister and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday said that both PDP and National Conference (NC) have been allies of BJP at some point of time but strangely their credentials weren’t questioned then.
In a series of tweets Mehbooba reacted to Madhav’s allegation that the PDP and NC had forged alliance to form government on instructions from Pakistan.
“Sad to see what the political discourse of our country has been reduced to. How does one define a party’s nationalistic credentials? Nationalistic and patriotic only if you are with the Centre and Pakistan sponsored and anti-nationalistic Otherwise,” Mehbooba said.

In another tweet, she said, “Shocked to see baseless allegations against mainstream parties in JK following dictates from Pakistan levelled by @rammadhavbjp ji.”
She tweeted, “All mainstream parties in JK have taken grave risks to bridge the trust deficit that exists between people of the state vis a vis the country.”
“But just because our MLAs had enough integrity to stand up to your failed attempts of defection, they are now anti-nationalistic,” Mehbooba told Ram Madhav in her tweet.
She suggested, “India is a great country and democracy is a battle of ideas. Lets not make a mockery of those very institutions and people.”
“We had aligned with the BJP to change this pernicious mindset. Undoubtedly Pakistan has an impact on the situation in J&K. But its upto our country to change that from negative to positive and tread the path that was taken by Vajpayee ji,” Mufti added.
