      Mehbooba Mufti

      "All leaders and workers should unite against removal of 35A. NC, PDP or INC - we need to keep our differences aside and sacrifice life & property to protect J&K special status."

      SG citing some of the speeches by political leaders when abrogation of Article 370 was speculated.

      On July 28, Mehbooba Mufti said "we want to tell the central govt tinkering with article 35A will result in the whole body being burnt. We cannot forget sacrifices of our martyrs. PDP will stand for special status of Kashmir. Hands, body will be burnt"

      July 29, Mufti said- many PDP members carried the national flag on their shoulders. If abrogated, no one will be left in Kashmir to shoulder the flag and no one would be left to carry bodies.
