Unlike BJP, Nehru would unfurl Tricolour in Srinagar without security cover: Mehbooba Mufti

The Hindu  

Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on July 31, 2023 said the achievement of the current dispensation can be gauged from the fact that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru would unfurl the Tricolour in Srinagar without any security cover in 1949 but this regime needs elaborate security arrangements for it. Elaborating on the ideology of party founder Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, Ms. Mufti said her father always wanted to work towards a solution to the Kashmir problem. Ms. Mufti said her father firmly believed that J&K’s future was with India and did not believe in leading the people astray. Ms. Mufti said the BJP was trying to convert the entire country into Manipur.
