Sack Mehbooba Mufti government: VHP

With Kashmir on the boil over terrorist Burhan Wani's death, VHP on Monday demanded immediate dismissal of Mehbooba Mufti government in Jammu and Kashmir and imposition of President's Rule, besides arresting her for her alleged "pro-militant" stance.

Terming BJP's "experiment" of forming a government with PDP as having "failed", VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain accused chief minister Mehbooba Mufti of "acting as a spokesperson of terrorists and separatists" and said both she and former chief minister Omar Adbullah be arrested for their pro-terrorists speeches. "BJP's experiment of forming a government with PDP has totally failed as they could not change Mehbooba Mufti.

"That is why this goverment should be dismissed immediately and President's Rule imposed. Both Mehbooba and Omar Abdullah should also be arrested for thei pro-terrorist speeches," he said. Comparing the situation to that in 1990s when militancy in Kashmir was at its peak, the VHP leader said there should be shoot-at-sight orders against terrorists.

Alleging attacks on Amarnath pilgrims, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) said it was "unacceptable" and that targeting Hindus will have "serious repercussions". The VHP leader also hit out at JNU student Umar Khalid for comparing Wani to a revolutionary, saying that "this is so unfortunate that a terrorist who was wanted for years is being compared to a revolutionary."
