Mehbooba Mufti made this statement rebutting Bharatiya Janata Party's statements in which they repeatedly said that the problem of Jammu and Kashmir arose due to the weak leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru. Mehbooba Mufti said, "Electricity is being sent from Kashmir to other parts of the country, but the people here are being deprived of electricity in winter." She criticised the Ganderbal District Magistrate's order banning electric feeders and other heating devices, saying that it is a shameful directive that is less than worthy of criticism."
