Governance reduced to PR exercises and covering up truth, says Mehbooba Mufti

NEW DELHI: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday mocked the 'air show' conducted at Dal Lake in Srinagar by calling it PR antics. Mufti lashed out at the air show that was conducted on Sunday as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations to mark the 75th Independence Day of India. She also tweeted that she was amused that the Indian government was continuing its normalcy acrobatics in Jammu and Kashmir.

'Amused that GOI continues its normalcy acrobatics in J&K. Back to back ministerial visits followed by PR antics such as Air Show in Srinagar to showcase normalcy when J&Ks shattered economy has suffered losses worth 40,000 crores since 2019,' she wrote on Twitter.

'At a time when youth are committing suicide & unemployment rate is 17.8% the local admin has become a PR & propaganda machinery instead of alleviating people’s misery. Governance has been reduced to PR exercises & covering up the truth. No concern whatsoever for the people of J&K,' she added.
