Srinagar: Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said she was not shocked at BJP Member of Parliament Pragya Singh Thakur statement asking Hindus to “sharpen Knives” at homes to respond to attacks.
Mufti alleged that the government of India would conveniently ignore her statement as it “appealed to their mass base.”
“Not shocked that a BJP MP openly calls for genocide of muslims & exhorts her followers to sharpen their knives. In Kashmir, merely stating the obvious & truth invites UAPA but GOI will conveniently ignore her statements since this appeals to their mass base.” Mufti tweeted.
During a speech on December 25, in Karnataka MP Thakur was quoted as having said that Hindus have the right to respond to those who attack them and their dignity.
“Keep the knives at home and keep them sharp. If veggies can be cut well, so can the enemy’s head..,” MP was quoted as having said.
