Mehbooba calls Mamata ‘tigress’ over ED action
Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Friday praised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, calling her a “tigress” for standing up to central agencies following ED raids linked to I-PAC in Kolkata.
Mufti said such raids had long been a reality in Jammu and Kashmir and claimed the rest of the country was now experiencing similar pressure.
Referring to the detention of several leaders after the abrogation of Article 370, she said political parties had largely remained silent at the time.
Expressing confidence in Banerjee, Mufti said the TMC chief was brave and would not surrender to pressure.
