Srinagar, Sep 28 (KNS): Senior PDP leader, Rouf Ahmad Bhat Tuesday termed the statement of Syed Altaf Bukhari as one more attempt to befool the innocent Kashmiri people in the name of sentiment. 

Bhat, in a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS) said that those who were instrumental and worked behind the scenes to abrogate Article 370 and 35-A can never justify themselves before Kashmiri people. 

Bhat said that it was Altaf Bukhari, who tried to justify 5th August decision before every platform especially before European parliamentary delegation when every Kashmiri was in coma like situation because of this historical betrayal. 

He asked Bukhari to apologize before the people for the role of traitor, which he played after 5th August and then issue any statement. "People are wise enough now to differentiate between traitors and leaders," he added. (KNS)
