On Monday, PDP president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti slammed the central government over the arrest of Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan. She said that the arrest is a ‘Travesty of justice’ adding that Muslims are targeted to please the core vote bank of BJP.
Mehbooba Mufti tweeted and wrote, “Instead of making an example out of a Union Minister’s son accused of killing four farmers, central agencies are after a 23-year-old simply because his surname happens to be Khan. Travesty of justice that Muslims are targeted to satiate the sadistic wishes of BJPs core vote bank.”
