PDP reiterates commitment to get back pre-Aug 5 status of J&K

Srinagar, Oct 22 (UNI) Presenting a united front, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) top leadership on Thursday reiterated their commitment to get back the special status of J&K, which was abrogated by the Centre on August 5, 2019.
The PDP top leadership made these assertions during a meeting, which was chaired by party president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, who was recently released after remaining under detention since August 2019, when Article 370 and Article 35 A were abrogated and J&K was bifurcated into two Union Territories.
However, PDP patron Muzaffar Hussain Beig was absent from the meeting.
The PDP spokesman and media advisor to the Party President Syed Suhail Bukhari in a statement issued here said that the Party’s top leadership, while endorsing the stance of the Party President on the August 5 events and a united response there to, has reiterated that these ‘events that saw illegal and unconstitutional disempowerment being perpetrated on the people of J&K unilaterally, is not only unacceptable but would be fought against in unison by the people of J&K’.
"Mehbooba Mufti chaired the meeting of the party’s top leadership here to discuss and deliberate upon the prevailing situation in Jammu & Kashmir. It was the first such meeting after her release from over 14 months long detention and was attended by top party office bearers and leaders. The leadership unanimously endorsed the stance taken by the party president on the issue of August 5 events as well as her commitment to a united response to these events," Bukhari added.
