Wani’s reaction came a day after PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti applauded her party’s three MLAs who raised the demand for restoration of Article 370 in the recent session of the Assembly.
PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday commended the role of the party's three MLAs for effectively raising the demand for restoration of Articles 370 and 35A and articulating public sentiments in the recently held first session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
Speaking to reporters during her visit to Budgam district, Mehbooba expressed dissatisfaction with the resolution, stating that it failed to address the abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019.
In a significant development, ruling National Conference (NC) leader and MP Ruhullah Mehdi on Friday issued a stern warning against any attempts to misinterpret the resolution seeking restoration of J&K’s special status passed by the Assembly in its recent session.
He will have a tenure of six months and three days. He will demit office on May 13, 2025.
There was no mention of any support by the OIC nor demands on India nor any criticism of India’s Kashmir policy.
It seems Prime Minister Khan failed to convince his Cabinet colleagues, particularly, the hardliners, that resumption of India-Pakistan trade relations need not be conditional on the restoration of Article 370 which, after all, is Indias internal matter. When he talked about improvement in India-Pakistan relations was he really serious, or was merely trying to gauge the extent of political support he would get for such a move?
Amit Shah, while “requesting” the political parties and their leaders to understand the situation of the erstwhile state which was bifurcated into two Union Territories,- J&k with a legislative and Ladakh without one, asserted that "it will happen".
He said there were 930 instances of ceasefire violations in 2020, a 54% increase over the 605 instances the previous year indicating Pakistan's nefarious designs to spread terrorism in J&K.
The months that followed the August 5th 2019 measures saw a steep rise in the human rights violations of people in face of disallowing people to pray, blocking communication channels, snatching exclusive jobs rights of local youth.
