Naik blames CM Mufti over situation in Kashmir

Rajya Sabha member and Congress leader Shantaram Naik blamed Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and her PDP-BJP coalition government for the deteriorating situation in the state.

"J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti does not understand the administration. She cannot rule the state. What she knows is only how to blame others," he said here.

Mufti was soft on the terrorists due to which they were running amok, he alleged. "She has no control over the administration," he said, adding that peace and normalcy was required for the prosperity of the state.

At least 23 people have died in the violence in Kashmir since the death of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on Friday.
