Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for changing the names of cities and towns, and said the move was an attempt to “demolish the idea of India”.
“Name changing is an attempt to demolish the idea of India we grew up with. It is an assault on the country’s composite Ganga-Jamuni culture. The BJP is trying to tell the Muslims that they don’t belong to this place. But be sure it is as much my country as yours. We are just not going anywhere,” Mufti tweeted on Saturday.
