| Muftis, Abdullahs always invented ways to ridicule nationalism | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 30: As recently Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti hogged the headlines over her indecent flag remarks citing Article 370 abrogation as a reason for her rage, National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah had made a similar statement three years ago that too when Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was intact and alive.
The story goes back to the year 2017. On November 27, that year, Farooq Abdullah dared the Centre to hoist the National Flag at Lal Chowk in the heart of Srinagar city before talking about unfurling it in PoK.
"They (Centre and BJP) are talking about raising flag in PoK. I ask them first you go and raise the tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar.

The truth is that (PoK) is not our part and this (J&K) is not their part. That is the truth," Abdullah said defending his comment that PoK does not belong to India.
