If Article 370 goes, J&K will renew ties with India: Mehbooba


Srinagar, Mar 30 (IANS): Article 370 of the Constitution is a bridge between Jammu and Kashmir and India and if it goes, people in the state will be forced to think if they want to be with New Delhi or not, former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said on Saturday.

Addressing activists of her Peoples Democratic Party, she said if Article 370 was scrapped, new conditions would have to be worked out between Jammu and Kashmir and India.

In such an eventuality, the people of the country's only Muslim-majority state would be forced to think whether they want to remain with India or not, she said.

"If you break that bridge (Article 370), then you will have to renegotiate the relationship between India and Jammu and Kashmir."

Mehbooba Mufti's statement came in response to a comment made by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that Article 35A was constitutionally vulnerable and an impediment to the economic development of Jammu and Kashmir.

    Mrs. Mehbooba,

    J&K is an integral part of India. Who will ask you to decide?

    So far you have enjoyed all the resources given through Indian Tax payer's money and now you talk like this. You never spent them to people of J&K but used for your own interest. Same holds good with Farooq Abdullah family.

    You can decide whether you want to be in Indian territory or elsewhere but J&K will remain with India.
