'Historic betrayal of J&K': Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti clash over Indus Water Treaty
NF Times
|May 18, 2025
What started as a war of words between Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti over the former's call to revive the Tulbul Navigation Barrage project on Wullar Lake turned into a mudslinging match, with the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister accusing his predecessor of taking the conversation to gutter level.
-
The altercation broke out after Mufti said Abdullah's call to revive the Tulbul Navigation Barrage project given the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) was "irresponsible" and "dangerously provocative".
The chief minister hit back at the PDP president, saying she refuses to acknowledge that the IWT was a "historic betrayal" with the people of Jammu and Kashmir because of her "blind lust" to score "cheap" publicity points and "please" some people across the border.
