Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, during an interview with news agency PTI, said she would not fight the Assembly elections until the Government of India restores Article 370. “I am never going to fight assembly elections as long as Article 370 is not restored. It’s more of an emotional issue for me,” she told the news agency.

“Whenever I took an oath as a member assembly it was under two constitutions, J&K Constitution and Constitution of India, with two flags at the same time,” she added. “Maybe it’s very foolish on my part but it’s more of an emotional issue,” she said. However, she did not declare any prospect of fighting the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. “Parliament I don’t know.”

Notably, the government in August 2019 revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. According to the Central government, the step was crucial in order to end terrorism and restore peace in the valley.
