People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on January 17 took a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that "getting rid of this party in Uttar Pradesh will be a greater azadi (freedom) than 1947" because they want to divide the country. Speaking at PDP's Tribal Youth Convention, Mufti said, "Assembly elections are going to take place in Uttar Pradesh, so they (BJP) are recalling Aurangzeb and Babar. Today, we have got a chance to get rid of BJP. It will be greater Azadi than India's freedom of 1947 because they wanted to divide the country."
