Agencies:

Don't target my family, party workers; fight me politically: Mehbooba Mufti to BJP

People�s Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday accused that the BJP Government had �weaponized the central agencies� for targeting her family members and party workers. Addressing a Press Conference at her Gupkar residence, Mufti said rather than a �witch-hunt�, Government should �fight me politically.�

�I want to tell all the BJP leaders that you have so much power and so many members of Parliament. You have the government on your side. If you want to fight me, fight me politically but not through NIA, ED or CBI which the Government is treating like its mistresses instead of being serious agencies which are supposed to probe serious issues,� Mufti said.

The former Chief Minister accused the Government of connecting her �to terror funding� through the arrest of her party youth President Waheed Parra, who is presently in the custody of the National Investigation Agency. She accused the Government of �trying to create a situation where Waheed is made to falsely confess something which brings me in the radar.�

�What will you get out of these raids as I have nothing to hold back. Be grounded and fight me politically and not through these agencies. Because there is nothing, Government went to my father�s graveyard and started auditing how much was spent on it,� Mufti said.
