Srinagar, May 20: Reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhis 'traitor remark on Prime Minister Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said the BJP was reaping what it sowed after years of labelling Muslims and secular people as traitors. Mufti was responding to a question about Gandhi calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah traitors, who worked to sell India -- remarks that stirred a political storm. Speaking to reporters in Shopian, the former chief minister brushed aside the controversy over Gandhis remark. Why is there so much hue and cry if Rahul Gandhi has said something? It was the BJP which started calling Muslims and secular persons as traitors, she said. Earlier, they (BJP) used to say go to Pakistan, now they are saying go to Iran. The houses of Muslims were bulldozed, but nobody said a word, she said. Mufti said the BJP was being haunted by its own deeds. They (BJP) sowed the seeds, and now it is coming back at them, she added. Gandhi triggered a massive political row after he alleged that the BJP insulted freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar. Speaking at a rally in Uttar Pradeshs Rae Bareli, he said that the Modi governments policies damaged Indias economy. When these RSS workers come before you and talk about Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, then tell them openly that your prime minister is a traitor, your home minister is a traitor, and your organisation is a traitor, he said.
