Health and Medical Education Minister Sakina Itoo on Wednesday criticised PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti and Waqf Board chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi for their visits to AIIMS, questioning their authority to conduct meetings and reviews there.
Speaking to reporters in Kulgam, Sakina said the two leaders had no official mandate for such engagements. "With what authority are they holding meetings? They are neither ministers nor in power. They should understand their position. I see these actions as frustration," she said.
The minister said the NC government enjoys the people's mandate and has been actively working to address public concerns, including the restoration of statehood, which she said has been pursued for the past 19 months.
She added that NC legislators will stage a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar on the first day of the monsoon session to press for statehood restoration.
