New Delhi, Delhi, India
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has warned Delhi against trying to break her PDP party, saying that if it did, it would lead to a 1987-like situation.
"If Delhi tries to dismiss the voting rights of people like 1987, if it tries to create divisions and interfere like that then I think just like a Salahuddin and a Yasin Malik were born in 1987...if it tries to break PDP like that then outcomes will be dangerous," she told ANI.

The BJP recently pulled out of its alliance with the PDP in Kashmir, putting the state under Governor's rule. There have been murmurs since then that the BJP might try to form another government with the help of breakaway PDP MLAs and independents.
Former chief minister Omar Abdullah was quick to pick on her statement, saying "she (Mehbooba) must realy be desperate is she is threatening the centre with renewed militancy if PDP breaks up."
He added that "she seems to have forgotten that militancy in Kashmir has already been reborn under her most able administration."

The 1987 elections in Jammu and Kashmir, with allegations of widespread rigging, are seen as having kicked off militancy in the state.
