'Turn Taj Mahal and Red Fort into temples': Mehbooba Mufti

PDP chief stated, "It is unfortunate that BJP cant give employment. Price rise is sky-high. Our country is worse than Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal in terms of poverty. y have thing to give to people. That is why y are putting people after Muslims. This includes mosques of muslims and Taj Mahal. People like Mallya and Modi, some or Modi (Nirav Modi) took away country's wealth . Instead of getting m back, y are doing Hindu-Muslim . If y have guts, turn Taj Mahal and Red Fort into temples, n we will see how many people come here."

"In our region, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians have been living for s. Here re are masjids and temples. It is our herit. LG is t a saint or seer, he is our constitutional head. He starts doing pooja wherever he goes. He should focus on water, electricity and or important issues. Head of state makes a mockery of law. He does pooja where it is t allowed. If head of state does this, what else can we expect from ors?," Mehbooba Mufti added.
