PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Monday, 9 November, said that she will hold both the tricolour and the flag of Jammu and Kashmir together. Mufti also added that as an MLA, she had reaffirmed her faith in the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir as well as the sovereignty and integrity of India since they are inseparable, PTI reported.
In one of her statements last month, she mentioned that she was not interested in contesting elections or holding the national flag till the constitutional changes enforced on August 5 last year were rolled back.
Mufti had said, “Our relationship with the flag of this country is not independent of this flag (Jammu and Kashmir’s flag). When this flag comes in our hand, we will raise that flag too.”
