The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on July 12 said that the only motive behind abrogation of Article 370 was to loot J&K.
“Article 370, 35(A) & Domicile laws weren't given by a foreign country. Even before the nation gave us these, Maharaja had brought it to protect identity of people of J&K. When people decided to be part of India, he said that we have these laws that have to be upheld,” said former CM Mufti.
“But after the abrogation it seems that the only motive behind this was to loot J&K. People from outside are being given top positions at Chenab Valley Power Projects, our water & electricity go outside. Our transporters are in trouble,” she added.
