Any tampering with Article 370, Art 35-A will render Treaty of Accession null & void: Mehbooba
Srinagar, Feb 24 (UNI/IBNS): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said any tampering with Article 35 A and Article 370, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir, will render treaty of Accession null and void.
Mehbooba, who was the chief minister in previous PDP-BJP government, said those frothing at the mouth and calling for its removal shouldn’t blame Kashmiris for the developments that will follow such a hare brained decision.
“Valley rife with speculation about status of Article 35. Before taking a decision, GoI must consider that J&K was the only Muslim majority state that chose a secular India over Pak during partition,” Mehbooba wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
