If standing up for my people makes me a separatist, it is a badge I will wear with honour: Mehbooba
Srinagar: PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said that if standing up for the rights of people makes her a separatist, then it is a badge she will wear with honour.
She was responding to the statement of Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitely who said that the statements of the mainstream politicians of the valley create a separatist psyche and is not acceptable to new India.
Unacceptable is a new India where those who kill and lynch in the name of religion are feted and garlanded. If standing up for my people makes me a separatist and anti national then its a badge I will wear with honour. https://t.co/7KJAHfrOe5

On the issue of the special status, both the PDP and the National Conference have been saying that if the Article 35-A is abrogated or removed, the relationship of the Kashmir with the Union of India will end.
