Mehbooba Mufti Snubs Farooq Abdullah's Protest, Calls for All-Party Meeting
Mehbooba Mufti, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, declined Farooq Abdullah's invitation for the National Conference’s July 20 protest at Jantar Mantar, arguing that focusing solely on statehood without addressing Article 370 would legitimize constitutional changes from August 5, 2019. Mufti called instead for an all-party meeting to address fundamental issues like releasing political prisoners and revoking bans on socio-political organizations. She accused the National Conference of normalizing these changes.
