'Only if...': Mehbooba Mufti gives conditional nod to NC's J&K statehood protest invite in Delhi
Mehbooba Mufti agreed to join the National Conference's protest for Jammu and Kashmir statehood, contingent upon including demands for the restoration of Article 370 and the release of prisoners. She argued that focusing solely on statehood would legitimize the revocation of the region's special status. Mufti called for an all-party meeting to address broader issues affecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing that restoring statehood necessitates ongoing political engagement.
