Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti has said that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah should keep his promise which he has given on the floor of the house that the statehood would be restored to Jammu and Kashmir soon after the normalcy returns.

She said that New Delhi should not take the silence of the people as any kind of approval to their policies in Jammu and Kashmir and said that this silence has been forced by the repressive measures taken by the government.

She said that Amit Shah on Saturday has been quoted in the media saying that elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be held as delimitation has started. Shah said that he has given assurance in Lok Sabha that as soon as the situation becomes normal in Jammu and Kashmir, statehood will be given back to J&K.

According to the KNT while quoting Mehbooba Mufti it has said in its report on Saturday as follows.

Mehbooba Mufti in response to the assertions made by Amit Shah took to Twitter and wrote that “after quite literally terrorizing people of J&K into silence to create a false normalcy narrative, GOIs admission that situation still isn’t normal is self-contradictory.”

She added that it also proves that silence shouldn’t be misconstrued as normalcy.
