Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Me-hbooba Mufti has said the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Narendra Modi is taking detri-mental steps to benefit its corporate friends at the cost of the local economy and traders in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Mufti in a tweet said, “Anti Jammu policies which started with ending Darbar move have been followed with another blow to business community in Jammu. Such detrimental steps are taken to benefit BJPs corporate friends at the cost of the local econ-omy & traders’.
She was reacting to the remarks of traders in Jammu who complained that the opening of Reliance stores will prove fatal for the local businesses.
It is worth mentioning here that Reliance stores are owned by Reliance Industries Limited, an Indian multinational conglomerate company, headquartered in Mumbai. Founded by business tycoon, Dhirubhai AmbaniIt, the Reliance has diverse businesses including energy, petrochemicals, natural gas, retail, telecommunications, mass media, and textiles.—AFP
