Mufti added, “We are even behind Bangladesh when it comes to economy. Be it unemployment or any other issue, they have failed on all fronts. When they fail on all fronts, they are reminded of Kashmir and Article 370.”
Claiming that she has not abandoned the fight to get back J&K’s special status that was revoked by the Centre on 5 August 2019, Mufti said, as quoted by NDTV, “Those who feel we will abandon Kashmir are mistaken.”
She added, “Our relationship with the flag of this country is not independent of this flag (Jammu and Kashmir‘s flag). When this flag comes in our hand, we will raise that flag too.”
