On the other hand, PDP (People’s Democratic Party) chief Mehbooba Mufti questioned on why such anger against Kashmiris for celebrating Pak’s win?

Why such anger against Kashmiris for celebrating Pak’s win? Some are even chanting murderous slogans- desh ke gadaaron ko goli maaro/calling to shoot traitors. One hasnt forgotten how many celebrated by distributing sweets when J&K was dismembered & stripped of special status pic.twitter.com/dCKQtj5Uu7
