Srinagar (J&K): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti on Monday called the Modi government's decision to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution as "the darkest day in Indian democracy". "Decision of J&K leadership to reject 2 nation theory in 1947 & align with India has backfired. Unilateral decision of GOI to scrap Article 370 is illegal & unconstitutional which will make India an occupational force in J&K," the former Chief Minister tweeted. "It will have catastrophic consequences for the subcontinent. GOI's intentions are clear. They want the territory of J&K by terrorising its people. India has failed Kashmir in keeping its promises," she said.
