The earnestness with which Mehbooba Mufti is functioning, is becoming a sore point for the separatists. If Mehbooba Mufti is able to generate employment amongst the youth in Kashmir, give impetus to tourism in the state, emphasise on development and instil a sense of confidence amongst people, it would hit the separatists hard and choke them. The separatists with the help of Pakistan are therefore trying their best to foment trouble for Mehbooba. The current situation is Kashmir is but an outcome of such a conspiracy. Under such circumstances, the National Conference and other parties should cement their differences and come together…after all this is about the state of Kashmir and about the nation at large.
