Mehbooba Mufti Critiques BJP Over Kashmir Accession Terms and Article 370 AbrogationPreviousNext

On Jammu and Kashmir's Accession Day, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti reiterated that the region's accession to India was based on trust and constitutional safeguards, including Article 370. She criticized the BJP-led government's abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, alleging erosion of political rights, suppression of dissent, and restrictions on public expression. Mufti highlighted Kashmir's militarized status and called for open discussion on the region's issues, contrasting local silencing with international and electoral debates on Kashmir.
