Half-hearted, lacks conviction’: Mehbooba Mufti on Article 370 resolution passed in J&K Assembly


Srinagar, Nov 06, ANB: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti called the Article 370 resolution by the National Conference (NC) in the legislative assembly on Wednesday as "half-hearted" and the one that lacks conviction.

Addressing a press conference in Srinagar, Mufti said that the resolution, demanding the restoration of Article 370 and 35A, was inadequate in both language and intent.

"The language could have been better," she said. "This is a half-hearted attempt, and we are considering amendments to the resolution

She said while the resolution acknowledged concerns regarding the 2019 revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, it failed to explicitly condemn the "unconstitutional" move by the BJP government.

"Instead of unequivocally calling for the complete restoration of Article 370, the resolution merely suggests a dialogue. Dialogue with whom?," she asked.

Mufti said the PDP is considering amendments to ensure the resolution genuinely reflects the sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

"This isn't about taking credit," she added. "Our stance is clear: we are committed to our election promises to fully oppose the revocation and seek its restoration.” (ANB)
