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.
J&K achieved 100 per cent household electrification which has rekindled the hopes of many who had never seen electricity in their lives. Household water connections have reached 43 per cent of rural households which is double the national average of 21 per cent, and a road map has been prepared to ensure 100 per cent coverage
The statement further said that these are testing times and times of pain for the peace loving people of Jammu and Kashmir.
This is the first meeting of top leaders of NC leaders after 5 August last year when most opposition leaders were detained by the government.
"One of the major advantages of the abrogation of the Article 370 has been the complete integration of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the country," a political analyst in north Bengal says.
In a statement, PDP spokesman said that the Chief Secretary has come here with a "colonial mindset" and acts as chief executioner of RSS in Kashmir".
