Defending Article 35-A not confined to one region, religion anymore: Mehbooba Mufti

Srinagar, Aug 11: Defending the special status of Jammu and Kashmir is not confined to a particular region or religion anymore as the people of the state have realised its importance and sanctity, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said on Saturday while referring to the reports of two BJP MLAs coming out in support of Article 35-A, which is facing a legal challenge in the Supreme Court.

“Heartening to know that two MLAs from BJP, Rajesh Gupta followed by Dr Gagan (Bhagat), have raised their voice in defence of Article 35-A. Defending the special status of J-K is not confined to a region or religion anymore. People of the state have realised its importance & (and) sanctity,” Mehbooba wrote on twitter.
Stating that her government fought the case legally in the apex court, Mehbooba said she “stood alone” in the political battle emphasising that any dilution of Article 35-A would set the state on fire.
“Today I feel relieved that regardless of political views or affiliations, we are all on the same page as far as protecting the special status of J-K is concerned,” Mehbooba wrote. (Agencies)
