Mehbooba loses cool at press meet; condemns stone-pelting

The Chief Minister sought to explain the manner in which casualties took place, particularly of the youngsters.

SRINAGAR: Confronted by tough questions, an angry Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today brought to an abrupt end a joint press conference with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh when her stand on ongoing protests were compared with her position during the 2010 unrest. 

Singh, who was seated next to the chief minister on the dais, was seen making gestures to pacify Mehbooba who took on a reporter when reminded about her opposition to use of force and locking up of separatists in 2010 when rival NC leader Omar Abdullah was the Chief Minister      

"Muje kya bolenge yeh Sir. maine inke bachon ko bachaya hai Task Force se (What can they tell me. I have saved their kids from Special Task force)," Mehbooba, who lost her cool, retorted with an abrupt "thank you, now you can have a cup of tea".
