“People came out in large numbers. NC-Congress have received a simple majority. They have good numbers. Now people expect them to deliver on the promises that they made. So, I hope they do that. People have expectations and hopes. I hope the new government is formed as soon as possible and we extend them our best wishes,” Iltija Mufti told ANI.
“We will raise our voice for Article 370 and the resolution of issues of J-K, not just only statehood. We are not among those parties that shift their goalpost. We will fight for the restoration and resolution of J-K issue,” she added.
She supported restarting Darbar Move, a bi-annual shift of the secretariat and all other government offices, between Jammu and Srinagar.
“Darbar Move was not just one of our cultural symbols, a lot of trade was also done,” she said.
Iltija Mufti, who is daughter of former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, also took a dig at BJP.
“They did not get the numbers. Their attempts through proxy parties here did not succeed. I hope that the BJP respects the mandate. If people have elected NC-Congress, BJP should respect that mandate,” she said.
