Why Mehbooba’s party just declined Omar’s Jantar Mantar invite
Mehbooba Mufti's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) declined the National Conference's invitation to the July 20 Jantar Mantar protest, stating that focusing solely on statehood overlooks the critical issues surrounding Article 370. Mufti emphasized that a genuine political process must address fundamental concerns in Jammu and Kashmir, including the release of political prisoners. She proposed an all-party meeting to discuss these broader issues instead.
