| Free Kashmir if JK is at loss due to special status: Mehbooba to Modi | | | Early Times Report
Anantnag, (Qaizgund), Apr 27: Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti while lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that if he wants to remove article 35-A and Article 370 he should free Kashmir.
"If Modi thinks that Kashmir is at loss due to the special status of the state, then he should free Kashmir," she said while addressing reporters in Kulgam.
On Friday Modi had said that Article 370 and 35A have done maximum damage to Jammu and Kashmir and only former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's formula of "Insaniyat, Kashmiriyat and Jamhooriyat" will work in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mehbooba Mufti also termed Congress and the BJP two sides of same coin and said both the parties have caused unthinkable assaults against Article 370 and 35-A from time to time.
She reiterated that by tinkering with the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP is playing with fire and is turning its eyes away from reality without compunction. She said that as the Chief Minister she had in categoric way cautioned the Prime Minister Modi that if any harm is done to the unique position of Jammu and Kashmir, PDP will break ties with the BJP without a second thought. She added that the very foundation of the agenda of alliance was laid for the protection of 35-A and 370 and it was taken in writing from the BJP that it will not fiddle with the special position of Jammu and Kashmir in any way.
"Article 370 and 35-A is not only in the interest of Jammu and Kashmir but for the rest of the country as well. Anyone talking about scarping of JK's special status is trying to sow seeds of discord and create new fault lines. If any harm is done to Jammu and Kashmir's unique status, the state will erupt in conflagration and the relation of Jammu and Kashmir with India will cease to exist," Mehbooba said in her address. |
