Mandir-masjid politics rejected, says Mehbooba

Srinagar: The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday said the results of the Assembly elections in five states have shown that political awakening was on the rise in the country as people had rejected communal politics. "People rejected the mandir-masjid politics, results show political awakening on the rise in India," the PDP quoted its president Mehbooba Mufti as saying on its Twitter handle. She was referring to the loss of the BJP, which was an ally of the PDP till June this year, in the Assembly elections in the five states. "Clearly the mood of the nation rejects the brazen attempts at polarising society, rejects those who promise in words but plot in action, rejects those furthering their politics by pitting the people of one community against the other," the PDP said.
