During the press conference former Chief Minister kept two flags PDP flag and J&K Flag on her desk as she addressed reporters.
Srinagar: Former CM of Jammu and Kashmir and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, in her first press conference after released from 14 months of d etention, told as follows:
- She would not raise the national flag until Jammu and Kashmir’s flag, constitution, and status (as under Article 370) were restored.
- We will raise the national flag only once our state flag is back. The national flag is here only because of Jammu and Kashmir flag and constitution. We are linked to the rest of the country because of this flag.
- she called them “robbers” who had stolen constitutionally guaranteed rights.
- Her party would not “abandon the constitutional battle” to reclaim special status withdrawn by the centre in a contentious decision taken in August last year.
- Those who feel we will abandon Kashmir are mistaken.
- She would not contest any election until Article 370 is restored. I have contested elections under our own constitution. How can I contest elections when that constitution has been abolished?
- A robber may be mighty, but he must return the stolen goods. They demolished the constitution… Parliament had no power to take away special status.
- Now it is time for leaders to sacrifice for the cause. Even if leaders need to shed their blood for the cause… Mehbooba Mufti will be the first to offer it.
- The fight would not restrict to the restoration of article 370 but include the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
- One day they will fall at our feet and ask for resolution. It is a political fight and (we) will achieve (our) goal.
