Srinagar, Feb 23 (KNS): PDP President Mehbooba Mufti Sunday saif that the National Conference, with 50 MLAs and 2 MPs, must take a firm stand on key issues, including Article 370 and 35A, and not shy away from discussing them openly.

"The people have the right to know about major issues. If a wrong and unconstitutional decision was made in 2019, business rules should not be framed in a way that legitimizes it under a popular government," she said.

She also criticized the lack of discussion on issues such as tourism, youth welfare, and substance abuse, stating that political leaders must address these concerns instead of avoiding them.

Mufti reaffirmed her commitment to protecting public rights and ensuring that the government remains accountable to the people. (KNS)
