Speaking to the media after the prime minister's all-party meeting, Mehbooba Mufti, president of the Peoples Democratic Party, said, "The people of J&K are in a lot of difficulties after August 5, 2019, when Article 370 was rescinded. They're angry, upset and emotionally shattered. They feel humiliated. 

"I told the PM that the people of J&K don't accept the manner in which Article 370 was abrogated unconstitutionally, illegally and immorally." 

"The people of J-K will struggle constitutionally, democratically, peacefully. Be it months or years, we'll restore Article 370 in J-K as it's a matter of our identity. We didn't get it from Pakistan, it was given to us by our country, by Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel," Mufti said. 

"I congratulated the PM that they talked to Pakistan and it led to a ceasefire, less infiltration. For the peace of J-K if they've to talk to Pakistan again, they should. They should also talk to Pakistan about trade with them that has halted, it's a source of employment for many," she told the media.
