Hope Hindu fringe elements are checked: Mehbooba

Claiming that Bihar election results have done a “great job” in answering communal elements, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday hoped that “fringe elements” acting in the name of Hinduism will be checked, drawing comparison with elements of ISIS who misuse Islam.

She also made it clear that the PDP-BJP alliance in the state was mainly aimed at taking the peace initiatives of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in resolving the Kashmir issue to its logical conclusion.

“In our country tolerance is the strength and if we don’t stop these so-called fringe elements... What is happening in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq... because those are also fringe elements who are misusing the name of Islam.
