Mehbooba Mufti, who joined the protest with a banner in her hand, raised slogans saying, ‘Kale din ka kala Faisla nahi chalega, solve the Kashmir issue’. Addressing the media, the PDP chief targeted the BJP and said that it wants to convert the tricolor into saffron.
She said, in the coming times, the BJP will also destroy the foundation of the Constitution and its secularism, on which the country of India rests. BJP wants to make it a religious country. The tricolor that people are proudly hoisting today, the BJP wants to convert it into a saffron flag.
Mehbooba Mufti said, ‘They (BJP) will change the flag of this country just as they snatched the Constitution and flag of Jammu and Kashmir. But, we have sworn that we will take back our flag and constitution. We will also force them to resolve the issue of Kashmir for which lakhs of people have sacrificed.
