PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti called senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj a liar when the latter in a meeting said that even Modi's rivals like Mufti have lauded his efforts for fasting for peace and harmony.
PDP CHIEF Mehbooba Mufti stepped up her defence mechanism by stating that senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj was lying when the latter said that the rival of Modi had lauded him for his fast. However, her quick u-turn from the issue also evoked the ire of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
During a recent NIC meet in Delhi Swaraj said that even rivals like PDP’s Mehbooba Mufti have praised Modi in front of everyone at NIC meeting. A Muslim friend of Mehbooba wanted to invest in Gujarat and was surprised to be granted an appointment to meet Modi in half an hour. The slamming by Omar has not come as a surprise as it is the thumb rule of politics to slam the arch rival at any given opportunity.

Forcing his arch rival to accept whatever she had said, Omar tweeted that it would be much more graceful to accept her praise of Modi rather than calling Sushma Swaraj a liar.
However, stuck in the quagmire of controversies, Mufti did not spare Omar either. When questioned why she was not accepting the reality, Mufti said that she did not praise Narendra Modi and it had been taken out of context. For us, Modi remains the same. Omar pounces on issues, why did he not pounce then, we were in the same meeting?
Trying to clear the air, Mufti said that she was misquoted and has also asked the centre to release that part of the speech.
