The former chief minister Mehooba Mufti said her father believed in the idea of India and the secularism that was the foundation of the country.
“.. But bad that the present party not only they have ended the constitution of J&K but also have also bulldozed the constitution of India. They not only ended J&K (Article) 370, but also ended the constitution of this country,” she said, adding Jammu and Kashmir had acceded to the India of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Abul Kalam Azad, and not to the India of Nathuram Godse.
Mufti said all the institutions of the country have been destroyed by the present regime.
Referring to the Chief Justice’s comments, Mufti said now a days the courts are reluctant to grant bail to the innocents over fears of being targeted .
“There was a time when the court ruled against the then prime minister Indira Gandhi,” she said.
