Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti has blocked former cricketer Gautam Gambhir after the two got engaged in a spat on Twitter.
Ms Mufti had on Monday while reacting to BJP’s election manifesto tweeted, “Why waste time in court. Wait for BJP to scrap Article 370. It will automatically debar us from fighting elections since Indian Constitution won’t be applicable to J&K anymore”.
Responding to her tweet, Mr Gambhir wrote on micro-blogging site “This is India, not a blot like you which will get rubbed off”.
Replying, the former chief minister said, “Hope your political inning in BJP isn’t as abysmal as your cricket career!”
She eventually blocked him saying “I worry for your mental health. Am used to people trolling but this level of stalking is unhealthy. I’d imagine most people sleep at night... Here blocking you now so u can do the 2 rupee per tweet trolling somewhere else”.
