She also said that it is essential to keep advocating for the rights and voices of the people of J&K, to ensure that their concerns are heard and resolved.
Taking to micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter), the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said: “Thank you, @sajadlone, Independent MLA Shabir Kullay, and Sheikh Khurshid, for your solidarity with the PDP MLAs in opposing the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status”.
“Your support in this resolution underscores the ongoing political and humanitarian concerns within Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting the broader sentiment of many who view the revocation of Article 370 as a significant alteration to our autonomy and identity. This collective action by political figures across different lines signifies the depth of feeling about the issue, aiming to address not only legal but also moral dimensions of the decision made by the central government,” she said on X.
“As we move forward, it’s essential to keep advocating for the rights and voices of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring that their concerns are heard and addressed,” Mehbooba added.
Ruling National Conference (NC) on Monday criticised PDP MLA Waheed Para for bringing a resolution in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on the abrogation of Article 370, while other valley-based political parties expressed their support.
The NC said the move by the PDP MLA from Pulwama was aimed at circumventing the Jammu and Kashmir government’s resolution on the issue.
“It was too clever by half attempt by a PDP MLA, clearly aimed at circumventing government move to introduce resolution,” the NC said in a post on X.
