Azad could find some monkeys in his legacy, says Mehbooba Mufti

People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti made some sarcastic remarks against Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Following his comments that 'everyone was born a Hindu in this country", Mufti said she does not know how much knowldege Azad has about his forefathers.

"But I want to tell one thing. Azad is going back and delving into the history. If he goes further deep, he might find some monkeys in his family history," she said, evoking smiles from those listening to her.

Azad said a majority of Indian Muslims have converted from Hinduism, adding that an example of this can be found in the Kashmir Valley where a majority of Kashmiri Pandits converted to Islam.
