The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 17 Sep 2024Mehbooba Mufti, the president of People's Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said that her party is not contesting in the elections only for undertaking developmental works, but also to stop BJP from burying the Kashmir issue and Article 370. ‘It is a matter of shame for the BJP that has been saying the situation has improved, but they could not hold elections in J&K in the last 10 years.
People are annoyed, they are suffocating. They want a government to be formed which can address their concerns and end their difficulties,’ Mufti told reporters.
