Signalling differences with ally BJP and its government at the Centre, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday criticised the recent arrests of separatist leaders, saying, “You cannot kill an idea. You cannot jail an idea”. Using her party’s 18th raising day rally to send across a rare and stern message to the Centre, Mehbooba also warned that her government would not allow any move to close cross-LoC trade and the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road link. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is reported to have recommended the closure of cross-LoC trade.
“But to do this, we need to ensure that the confidence in the Constitution and the idea of India especially for us isn’t shaken. If the special constitutional arrangement between the state and the Union is tampered with, it will shake the confidence of those who believe in the Constitution and idea of Iindia in Kashmir. We (mainstream parties) will have nothing to explain our political beliefs,” he said.
The PDP rally, one of the biggest rallies in the city after last year’s unrest, was a show of strength. It was attended by party workers from across the Valley, including South Kashmir — a region which has seen turmoil since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani last July. Speaking at an event in New Delhi on Friday, Mehbooba had described the arrests of separatist leaders as “administrative measures”, adding that “administrative measures only contain the issue, they do not resolve it.”
