Lambasting PDP president Mehbooba Mufti for her reference to the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan to call upon the government to restore J&K’s special status, BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh has said she is daydreaming and that her wishes will never come true.

Calling Mehbooba’s remarks as “anti-national”, Chugh said on Thursday that the UT had rejected her Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and “the Gupkar Gang”, referring to the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration — an alliance of some mainstream Jammu and Kashmir parties.

Addressing her party workers earlier this month, Mehbooba had asked the Centre to take a lesson out of Afghanistan where the Taliban seized power and made the US flee, and urged the government to hold dialogue and restore its special status . — PTI
