STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 25 (STC): Jammu and Kashmir cabinet minister Sakina Itoo has criticised PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and Peoples Conference chief Sajad Lone, for being responsible for the hardships faced by the people of region. She said they have no moral ground to criticise the present National Conference – led government.

Peoples Conference chief Sajad Lone and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti had criticised the government for taking over Jamaat-i-Islami schools. Responding to this criticism, Sakina Itoo lashed at them for “always targeting the government.” Itoo said, “I want to tell them, they have never been true sympathisers of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. When all these things were happening here, they themselves were ministers, it was their government. If today we are facing hardships, it is because of them.”
She added, “We once had a state of Jammu and Kashmir, which they got dissolved. We had special status, which they got abrogated. We had rights over land and jobs, and they snatched them all away.”
The minister further said that people have already rejected them. “They talked of chocolates and toffees while people were suffering, so the people rejected them and gave their mandate to Omar Abdullah-led National Conference. That is why their only job now is to oppose,” Itoo remarked.
