Article 370 Will Be Reinstated In J&K: PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti Over Ghulam Nabi Azad's Remark
"Azad Sahib may have a different opinion. The BJP may have a different opinion. What can I do? We are firm on our opinion. We will end injustice," she said.
Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Monday called former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's views on Article 370 a "personal opinion," and said her party will fight for its reinstatement and "stop injustice" in the Union territory, news agency ANI reported.
Azad attacked those promising the reinstatement of Article 370 at his first rally in Kashmir since leaving the Congress last month, saying it was not in their hands and that he would not mislead people about the matter.
However, Muft stated: "The way the Congress put an end to oppression by the British, there are voices in Jammu and Kashmir which believe that not only Article 370 will be restored but the (Kashmir) problem will also be resolved."
"Azad Sahib may have a different opinion. The BJP may have a different opinion. What can I do? We are firm on our opinion. We will end injustice," she added.
