| Mehbooba is confident of separation of Kashmir from India | | | Mehbooba Mufti is more confident about the separation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir than her success in the Lok Sabha elections. She has given the date of 2020 by that time if the Government of India fiddled with Article 370 the state would get separated from India. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has set the "separation deadline" of year 2020 for India if the Union government removes Article 370 from the State. She is sure of the separation of the state during 2020 in case the Government of India removed Article 370 which gives a special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir within the Union of India. She has said after filing her nomination papers before the Returning Officer (RO) for the south Kashmir's Anantnag constituency, Mehbooba year 2020 will be J&K's "separation deadline" to the country if Article 370 was removed.
"If Article 370 is removed by year 2020, it will be the deadline for the separation of Jammu Kashmir from rest of the country. The accession of J&K with India will end if the conditions on which it was made are tampered with," Mehbooba said reacting to the remarks of BJP chief Amit Shah. Mehbooba said Congress leader, Karan Singh's father, Maharaja Hari Singh was the one who had laid the foundation of Article 370 and his statement over it was a cruel joke.
"The statement of Karan Singh is a cruel joke as it was his father who had laid the foundation for this article. It is totally wrong that Karan Singh is now singing a different tune. This doesn't suit a personality like him to issue such statement," Mehbooba said.
Karan Singh, the former Sadre-e-Riyasat, said on Tuesday that the special status to Jammu Kashmir was given by the Government of India and it was not the State which had asked for it. Yes Karan Singh is right because people, who were under the trauma of Pak tribal invasion had created somewhat chaotic situation in Kashmir and people had no time to secure special status. Commenting over the Congress manifesto, Mehbooba compared it with her party's Agenda of Alliance saying AFSPA revocation and other pledges in Congress manifesto related to Jammu Kashmir was same as PDP and BJP's common minimum programme - Agenda of Alliance. "The Congress manifesto is the same as what Mufti (Muhammad Sayeed) Sahab had put in the Agenda of Alliance with BJP like the status quo on Article 370, revocation of AFSPA, talks with the stakeholders and vacating of the armed forces from civilian areas. Word by word it's all same," Mehbooba said. |
