?Cong, BJP same when it comes to nat'l interest: Mehbooba

Srinagar, April 22 -- Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti Sunday said

Congress and BJP are always on the same page when it comes to "national

interest".

She said whether it was Ghulam Nabi Azad's transfer of forest

land to Amarnath Shrine Board in 2008 or the 2013 hanging of Afzal Guru or the

BJP's poll plank of scrapping Article 370, both parties considered national

interest to be of paramount importance.

Only regional parties like PDP were concerned about the

interests of Jammu and Kashmir, she told reporters on the sidelines of a party

function in South Kashmir.

The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister also said no

religion should be blamed for terror acts.
