NC Won't Be Part Of Political Process Unless Article 370 Restored

Senior National Conference leader Mustafa Kamal on Tuesday said the NC won’t take part in the political process until the restoration of Article 370 and statehood to Jammu & Kashmir. In an interview with IANS, Kamal, the brother of detained former Chief Minister and NC chief Farooq Abdullah, said the National Conference will not be a part of any political process that doesn’t serve the interests of the people of J&K.

“They demolished the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. We can’t take part in any political process in this system,” he said. “New Delhi will like to manipulate us for changing the demography of Jammu & Kashmir and enslave the people.” He said those clamoring for the extension of Article 371 to Jammu & Kashmir are free to do so but the National Conference won’t budge from its stated position.
