Srinagar, April 20: People’s Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti Thursday accused the judiciary of being in favour of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Speaking to media persons, she alleged that the judiciary has remained silent on important cases such as the abrogation of Article 370 and the Bilqis Bano rape case, which have serious implications on the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

She further stated that the BJP is afraid of the popularity and accreditation of the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

“The campaign led to the party pushing for fast-track hearing of Rahul Gandhi’s defamation case. BJP is trying to stifle opposition voices by using the judiciary as a tool to maintain its hold on power,” she said.

She said cornering Rahul Gandhi is actually a message to the opposition that you will fall in line if you go against the intentions of BJP.

BJP through these biased tactics wants to end the constitution of the country and want to continue party’s agenda which is to pave way for making India a Hindu Rashtra. (KNS)
