Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday urged the youths to participate in future civic of Jammu and Kashmir, saying it is their ”weapon” to fight for their rights and they should not cede space to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Addressing a party function in Srinagar, Me-hbooba Mufti warned New Delhi not to behave “like raiders…”.
She again lashed out at the BJP for the scrapping of Article 370 in 2019.
“You played with our dignity, our identity. You destroyed the whole state. This will not work,” she added.
Mufti asked the youth not to cede space to the BJP. “If panchayat elections or municipal elections take place, I want to tell the youth especially not to cede space to them,” she said.
Meanwhile, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the authorities have asked former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti and seven former legislators to vacate government quarters in the Housing Colony, Khanabal area of South Kashmir’s Islamabad district.
