PDP chief and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti Saturday termed the attachment of Dr Farooq’s property by Enforcment Directorate (ED) a “sheer political vendetta”, alleging BJP of settling scores while using agencies like NIA & ED.
“Attaching Dr Farooq sahab’s properties is sheer political vendetta as was evident from the abuses heaped on PAGD by BJP. People of J&K were least impressed & placed their faith in the alliance.Using agencies like NIA & ED to settle scores shows BJPs frustration”, Mehbooba tweeted.
