35-A
Tampering with Art 35-A, 370 will render the accession of JK with India null and void, says Mehbooba
Srinagar: PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti has said that any tampering with the special status of Jammu and Kashmir will render the accession of the state with the Union of India null and void.
The former Chief Minister in a series of tweets, she said that GoI, before taking any decision should consider the repercussions and added that those frothing at the mouth for calling it’s removal should not blame Kashmiris for the developments that will follow.
Valley rife with speculation about status of Article 35. Before taking a decision, GoI must consider-
1. J&K was the only Muslim majority state that chose a secular India over Pak during partition.
2. Article 370 is the constitutional connection between J&K & Indian Union.— Mehbooba Mufti (@MehboobaMufti) February 24, 2019
3. Instrument of accession is contingent on Article 370 which is inextricably linked to Article 35 A.
4. Any tampering will render Treaty of Accession null & void.— Mehbooba Mufti (@MehboobaMufti) February 24, 2019
5. Those frothing at the mouth & calling for its removal shouldnt blame Kashmiris for the developments that will follow such a hare brained decision.

Recently, the Joint Resistance Leadership had said that people should observe a shutdown the day Supreme Court agrees to hear the petitions against filed against the Article 35-A.
