Mehbooba Mufti Criticizes Omar Abdullah Over Article 370 Restoration Debate
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti criticized Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for dismissing the restoration of Article 370, saying it undermines the hopes of the region's people. Abdullah argued that statehood must precede any special status restoration and that demanding Article 370 could delay statehood. Mufti accused Abdullah and his party, the National Conference, of normalizing the 2019 changes and fostering a sense of defeat, while emphasizing that resolving the Kashmir issue should include Articles 370 and 35A.
