Asking all the political groups in Jammu and Kashmir to rise above the party lines, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday pitched for the rigorous and unanimous defense of Article 35-A so that the “state could be saved from turning into a veritable inferno.”
Senior PDP leader and former minister Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura while chairing a vital meeting of the party functionaries at central Kashmir’s Budgam, hailed the decision taken recently by the PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti over assigning the responsibility to veteran lawyer and politician Muzaffar Husain Beigh to defend 35-A at country’s top court.
The meeting also welcomed the decision taken by the Governor administration over the conduction of Municipal and Panchayat polls in the state.
