Abdullahs, Muftis No More Relevant In J&K

Goa Governor Satya Pal Malik plans to write a book on his experiences as the Jammu and Kashmir Governor, when the central government abrogated Article 370 and bifurcated the state into two Union territories of Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.

In an interview to a local cable channel on Thursday, Malik said amid all the violence in J&K, not one son of a maulavi, professor or any official or politician had died on account of the conflict.

Politicians like Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti were no longer relevant in Kashmir, he said and added things would return to normalcy there. “On Wednesday, they withdrew 7,000 security forces. Slowly things will get normal. Shops are opening. Business has started.
