Mehbooba says PDP to contest all 3 LS seats in Kashmir

The NC had unilaterally announced that it would field its candidates on all the three seats and fielded Mian Altaf from Anantnag. The NC had left two seats in Jammu for the Congress as part of the INDIA bloc's seat-sharing agreement.

Lockdown and in Limbo

For the present, therefore, Kashmir can be said to be in an indeterminate state where it is neither fully free nor under a draconian lockdown. Nor is there any indication how long the present stalemate will continue since the government simply cannot allow in the foreseeable period the NC and the PDP leaders to come out of jail and organize rallies. The government will also be on tenterhooks when the Supreme Court takes up the issue next month.

Don’t fiddle with 35 A, ‘warns’ Mehbooba Mufti

“35A ke saath chhedd chhadd karna baarood ko haath lagaane ke baraabar hoga. Jo haath 35A ke saath chhedd chaadd karne ke liye uthenge wo haath hi nahi wo saara jism jal ke raakh ho jaega (To play around with 35 A is like playing with fire. Whoever tries to touch 35 A would be annihilated),” said Mufti while addressing the party workers.
