Mehbooba Mufti reacted to the statement of PM Modi today and addressed the media in Kulgam by saying that, “If India hasn’t kept nuclear bomb for Diwali, it’s obvious Pakistan’s not kept theirs for Eid either. Don’t know why PM Modi must stoop so low & reduce political discourse to this.”
Adding to her statement, Mufti criticised PM Modi and said, “What Pakistan [nuclear bombs] possesses would not be saved for Eid either. We are evenly placed in this matter.”
Elections are currently taking place and the third phase is scheduled for April 23. Results will be declared on May 23. BJP is eying big from the Jammu and Kashmir, where it was in power until last year.
