The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief also said that invoking fear and terror to help the Bharatiya Janata Party win the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls was “fraught with dangers”.

“Invoking fear & terror to propel BJP to a victory this general election is fraught with dangers. After narrowly escaping a direct confrontation with Pak, efforts are on to punish minorities. India is becoming an Orwellian dystopia in which the establishment controls everything (sic),” she tweeted.

Her tweet came in response to BJP MP Hema Malini’s remark that it will be dangerous for the country if Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn’t return to power as he alone has the courage to do what is right for the country.
