SRINAGAR — Former Chief Minister Jammu and Kashmir and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Friday said the Centre’s decision to repeal three farm laws is a welcome step and expressed hope that the Union government “course corrects” and “reverses the illegal changes” made in Jammu and Kashmir since August 2019.
Taking to micro blogging site Twitter, Mufti said, “Decision to repeal farm laws & an apology is a welcome step, even though it stems from electoral compulsions & fear of drubbing in elections. Ironical that while BJP needs to please people in rest of India for votes, punishing & humiliating Kashmiris satisfies their major votebank.”
In another tweet she said, “Desecrating Indian constitution to dismember & disempower J&K was done only to please their voters. I hope they course correct here too & reverse the illegal changes made in J&K since August 2019.
