Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti, has said that she would not fight the Assembly elections until India restores Article 370.
Mehbooba Mufti during a media interview, said, “I am never going to fight assembly elections as long as Article 370 is not restored. It’s more of an emotional issue for me”.
“Whenever I took an oath as a member assembly it was under two constitutions, J&K Constitution and Constitution of India, with two flags at the same time,” she added. “Maybe it’s very foolish on my part but it’s more of an emotional issue,” she said.
Notably, India in August 2019 revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. She also expressed hope for the resumption of cross-LoC trade. The PDP chief said she hoped that the opening of the temple will not be restricted to pilgrimage, but “it will go beyond that”.—KMS
