Article 370: Former chief minister says India has betrayed Kashmir bbc.com

Ms Mufti – under house arrest in the state capital Srinagar – said those who had participated in India's democracy had been pushed to the wall.

Delhi has revoked Article 370, which guaranteed significant autonomy to the Muslim-majority state.

Ms Mufti said the decision betrayed Kashmir's decision to align with India in 1947.

Article 370 allowed the state to have its own constitution, a separate flag and independence over all matters except foreign affairs, defence and communications.
