J&K ex-CM vows to restore Article 370

Soon after her release from a 14-month detention, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has vowed to continue her struggle for the restoration of Article 370, which gave a special constitutional status, and the resolution of the Kashmir issue. 

"We all have to pledge that we will take back what was snatched illegally, undemocratically and unconstitutionally on August 5 last year. We will also have to work for the resolution of Kashmir issue for which thousands of people have laid down their lives," Mehbooba,  President of the People's Democratic Party, said in a short audio message on Twitter late Tuesday night.

Mehbooba also demanded the release of Kashmiri people languishing in jails.

India ended the special status of J&K and bifurcated it into federally-ruled territories on August 5 last year.
