Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president and former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti Thursday castigated the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for issuing summons to the daughter of senior separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah.
“After NIA summons to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq sahib and ailingJKLF chief Yasin Malik sahib, the ED sending summons to Shabir Shah’s daughteris very shameful for the entire country,” Mehbooba told reporters here.
The ED has issued summons to Shah’s daughter Sama Shabir,who is pursuing law at Manchester University in the UK.
Mehbooba said that “the Modi government was harping onBalakot strikes and atrocities on innocent Kashmiris for electoral gains.”
On Omar Abdullah’s remarks that low voter turnout in Mufti’shome constituency Anantnag and native area Bijbehara was a sign of angeragainst Mehbooba, she said, “Entire Anantnag district is my home but Omarshould make it clear where his home is?”
Terming as frustration Omar’s statement that PDP was nowherein the contest on Anantnag Parliamentary seat, Mehbooba said, “It seemsOmar Abdullah is not bothered about voters of Kulgam, Pulwama and Shopiandistricts going to polls in the next two rounds. If he is so sure of hisparty’s victory then he should not campaign at all.”
Mehbooba also refuted the allegations about the presence ofgovernment employees in an election rally in Pulwama on Wednesday.
“The opponents are frustrated by our party’s popularity andare leveling false allegations. The factis they were my workers and not the employees,” she said.
