"They are trying to get to me. They want to ban my party. Because I raise my voice. I am repeatedly told that Article 370 is being talked about since my release. But what can I do about that. Until and unless the Kashmir issue is resolved, the problem will remain and persist. As long as they do not reinstate Article 370 the issue won't be resolved. Ministers will come and go," the PDP Chief said.
Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led central government, Mufti on Sunday accused the party of branding different communities as anti-nationals. "They call Muslims as 'Pakistani', Sardars as 'Khalistani', activists as 'Urban Naxal' and students as members of 'Tukde Tukde gang' & 'anti-national'." Hitting out at the saffron party, Mehbooba Mufti asked who is 'Hindustani' in this country if everyone is terrorist and anti-national.
"After we decided to participate in DDC Election, the degree of oppression has increased in Jammu & Kashmir. Candidates of PAGD are confined and are not allowed to go out for campaigning. How candidates will contest if they are not allowed to canvass?" PDP Chief further said, as quoted by ANI.
