Lashing out at PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti for allegedly instigating people to defy a ban of vehicular movement on the highway connecting Jammu with Srinagar, the BJP Wednesday demanded that she be arrested for trying to create law and order problem.
“FIR should been registered against former CM MehboobaMufti for statements to instigate the public to defy vehicular ban on highwayon Wednesdays and Sundays,” the chief spokesperson of J&K BharatiyaJanata Party, Sunil Sethi, told reporters here.
“We demand the arrest of Mehbooba Mufti for instigatingpublic to break law,” he added.
The BJP leader said Mufti wants to create “chaos forpity political gains”.
He said “perhaps” that is what Mufti desires asshe may get more votes by instigating public.
Sethi noted that politics in the state has gone to the”lowest ebb” when a former chief minister has no regard for law.
He said restrictions on vehicular traffic of civilians onthese two days in a week is well a thought-out strategy to stop recurrence ofPulwama-like incidents.
