On March 15, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti, visited a temple in the Poonch district and offered prayers.
Bharatiya Janata Party termed Mufti’s temple visit a “political gimmick.”
Former J& K Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta and BJP leader said, “I have also just come from the temple but the news is about her (Mehbooba Mufti) because she is doing something different.”
It is very obvious when elections are coming they start doing these kinds of “drama and gimmickry,” said Kavinder Gupta.
“If they are really doing this with their whole heart then it’s good. May god give them the wisdom to work for the country and Jammu & Kashmir. I hope they do not support Pakistan” Gupta said.
Talking about PDP chief Mufti’s visit, Udesh Pal Sharma, son of a late PDP leader said, “We are very happy that she visited the temple. She is former Chief Minister of J&K. She visited the temple, offered prayers and offered water (jal) to lord Shiva. She has set a very big example by visiting the temple.”
“The former Chief Mini has given a message to the whole of Jammu and Kashmir that no one can destroy and harm the peace of J&K,” said Udesh Pal Sharma.
Speaking about the temple, he said, “In November 2017, the construction of the temple was started by my father former PDP leader late Yashpal Sharma. Each and every person of Poonch have contributed to the making of the temple.”
