SRINAGAR: Targeting the National Conference (NC) leader and Srinagar member of Parliament Ruhullah Mehdi over the protest outside chief minister's residence last month demanding rationalisation of the reservation policy, state health and social welfare minister Sakina Itoo called Mehdi's protest a 'cheap publicity' stunt.
Sakina Itoo is also the part of three-member cabinet subcommittee formed by the J&K government to relook into the reservation issue.
"It was the wrong approach. What is this that you just stood up (to protest)? Does (CM) Omar Abdullah have a magic wand that he will wave (to bring results) and you will click pictures for cheap publicity?," she said in a media interview.
