Restore Art 370, resolve Kashmir for peace in region: Mehbooba to India

Srinagar, August 21, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Mehbooba Mufti Saturday said that if New Delhi is really interested in ensuring peace in J and K and the sub-continent, it must restore Article 370 and resolve the Kashmir dispute through dialogue.

Addressing a gathering in Kulgam, Mehbooba Mufti said for the everlasting peace in Kashmir, government of India must restore special status which they snatched illegally on August 5, 2019 and also resolve the Kashmir dispute through dialogue.

The PDP chief said had BJP been in power in 1947, IIOJK wouldn’t have been part of India today. She alleged that BJP is misusing the Indian agencies to crush the dissent in Kashmir. “If better sense doesn’t prevail in BJP camp, India is all set to break into parts on communal and religious lines,” the PDP chief said.

About Taliban, the PDP chief said the Taliban made the US forces flee from Afghanistan, but the entire world is watching the behaviour of the Taliban. “I urge the Taliban not to commit any act that forces the world to go against them. Role of guns is over in the Taliban and the world community is watching how they would behave with the people,” she said.
