Replying to a question on ISIS flags in Kashmir, Mehbooba said they are waved “just to catch attention’.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president and Member of Parliament Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said there can be no fiddling with Article 370 as Jammu and Kashmir is a unique state, different in every way from other states.
“If Kashmiris chose to be part of India, we need to be treated specially. If there is Article 370, then we will have a more stronger bond with India,” Mehbooba said during a discussion on Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2015.
Replying to a question on ISIS flags in Kashmir, Mehbooba said they are waved “just to catch attention’.
“These ISIS people, they are destroying everything Islam holds dear. That’s why I think Kashmiris will never get swayed by that. The Kashmiri boys are innocent. ISIS talks about rapes, pillaging…that’s complete anti-thesis of Islam,” she said.
“Being an integral part of India”, she said Jammu and Kashmir has to go beyond ownership of land.
“The negative image projected by the media undermines the dignity of Kashmiris,” she said.
