Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has termed the BJP’s move to revoke Article 370 as the darkest day in Indian democracy.
“Decision of J&K leadership to reject two nation theory in 1947 and align with India has backfired. Unilateral decision of GOI to scrap Article 370 is illegal and unconstitutional which will make India an occupation force in J&K,” Mufti wrote on Twitter.

GOIs intention is clear & sinister. They want to change demography of the only muslim majority state in India , disempower Muslims to the extent where they become second class citizens in their own state.

People like us who placed faith in Parliament, the temple of democracy have been deceived. Those elements in J&K who rejected the 🇮🇳 constitution & sought resolution under the UN have been vindicated. This will exacerbate the alienation Kashmiris feel.

It will have catastrophic consequences for the subcontinent. GOIs intentions are clear. They want the territory of J&K by terrorising it’s people. India has failed Kashmir in keeping its promises.

The Indian government on Monday introduced a resolution to scrap Article 370 of the Constitution which grants special status to occupied Kashmir.
The way some sections of media & civil society are celebrating these developments with glee is disgusting & disconcerting.

What did J&K get for acceding to India? Another partition along communal lines? Our special status isn’t a gift bestowed upon us. Its a right guaranteed by the same 🇮🇳 parliament. A contract entered into by J&K leadership & India. Today the very same contract has been violated
