Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti Monday visited the grave of her father late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and offered Fateha.
“South Kashmir is my homeland and Bijbehara is my native area. Besides my father’s grave lies here. Whenever I feel there are difficult times I visit here and offer Fateha. I started my political career in 1996 and my father used to remain with me shoulder to shoulder. But today in his absence the challenges have emerged manifold. Our identity is being assaulted,” she told reporters.
She also said that people are her hope and that she anticipated they will turn out in large numbers and vote for PDP in the upcoming election. “I always stood with my people in difficult times be it south Kashmir or Pir Panchal. I hope they won’t let me down,” she said.
I have always stood with my people: Mehbooba
