Mehbooba Mufti, the PDP supremo and Farooq Abdullah, the NC patriarch have been on a rampage with their break-India comments recently. Since the BJP manifesto reiterated their commitment to scrap Article 370 and 35A, the shrillness of their rants has only gone up. Mehbooba Mufti took to Twitter yesterday to make yet another anti-India statement after the BJP manifesto was released.
Why waste time in court. Wait for BJP to scrap Article 370. It will automatically debar us from fighting elections since Indian constitution won’t be applicable to J&K anymore. Na samjho gay tou mit jaouge aye Hindustan walo. Tumhari dastaan tak bhi na hogi dastaano main. https://t.co/3mvp2lndv2

In response to Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in High Court requesting the court to ban Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah from contesting in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, “Why waste time in court. Wait for BJP to scrap Article 370. It will automatically debar us from fighting elections since Indian constitution won’t be applicable to J&K anymore. Na samjho gay tou mit jaouge aye Hindustan walo. Tumhari dastaan tak bhi na hogi dastaano main”.
She said that if the BJP scraps Article 370, the Indian Constitution will not be applicable to Kashmir and hence, automatically they won’t be contesting elections.
Interestingly, in her insidious India hate, Mufti said they if India doesn’t understand, then Hindustan will be wiped out and that even India’s memory won’t be mentioned in the books of History.
To this anti-India rant, Gautam Gambhir, the cricketer and now BJP member said that Hindustan is not a black stain like her that can be wiped off.
@MehboobaMufti यह भारत है, कोई आप जैसा धब्बा नहीं जो मिट जाएगा!

In response to Gautam Gambhir’s scathing comment, Mehbooba Mufti the dynast, who is in politics today only because she comes from a political family and because she is more than willing to spew venom against India in a bid to please Islamists, terrorists, Pakistan and separatists told Gambhir that she hoped ‘his political innings in BJP isn’t as abysmal as ur cricket career!’.
Gautam Gambhir, not being the one to back down rhetoric back at Mufti with another scathing comment. He called her analogy pedestrian and said that it showed a lack of depth in her personality.
Oh! So you have unblocked my twitter handle! U needed 10 hours to respond to my tweet and come up with such a pedestrian analogy!!! Too slow. It shows the lack of depth in ur personality. No wonder you guys have struggled to solve the issues at hand.

After the war of words, which Mufti clearly lost miserably, Gautam Gambhir announced that he was happy to be blocked by Mehbooba Mufti but there are over a billion other Indians that she cannot simply block.
Most welcome @MehboobaMufti Ma’am, happy to be blocked by a callous individual. By the way, at the time of writing this tweet there are 1,365,386,456 Indians. How will you block them?

Mehbooba’s rants, of course, didn’t stop. She took a break from pandering to terrorists and Islamists to call Gautam Gambhir ‘disgraceful’.
Cricketers should stick to ?. Why wade into politics esp when it comes to issues like Kashmir? They have no knowledge about it. Take your aggression to the field and once you re done hang your boots with grace. Disgraceful. https://t.co/d9BzRQECV7

Gautam Gambhir has often taken principled stands in matters of National security. Recently, Gambhir had lashed out at NC dynast Omar Abdullah and charged him with wanting to change the map of India by pandering to Pakistan. He had also criticised the BCCI for inviting Azharuddin to ring the bell at Eden Gardens ahead of the T20 match.
