Poonch: People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday visited a temple in the Poonch district and offered prayers. Bharatiya Janata Party termed Mufti's temple visit a "political gimmick."
BJP leader and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Kavinder Gupta 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," he said today. "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 and 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 Jammu and Kashmir. She visited the temple, offered prayers and offered water (jal) to lord Shiva. She has set a very big example by visiting the temple." (with Agency inputs)
