Won't raise national flag until J&K flag Returns: Mehbooba Mufti
- 4 years ago
Mehbooba Mufti while addressing a presser for the first time in over 14 months since the abrogation of Article 370 said she will hoist the tricolour only when the flag of J K is returned to the state. Her statement has created a controversy.
"My flag is this (points to the flag of J K kept on the table in front of her). When this flag comes back, we'll raise that flag (tricolour) too. Until we get our own flag back, we won't raise any other flag...This flag forged our relationship with that flag. 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," Mehbooba Mufti was quoted as saying by ANI.
