'Government of India Wants Everyone To Beg For Statehood'

Mehbooba Mufti
 tells 
Yawar Hussain that offering statehood to Jammu and Kashmir looks like amputating someone’s feet and offering them shoes.

KASHMIR LIFE (KL): 
Recently, the Government of India reached out to Jammu and Kashmir’s politicians including you for the first time since August 5. Was the all-party meeting fruitful?
MEHBOOBA MUFTI (MM): This is a question that only the Government of India can answer. There are various confidence-building measures, which can be initiated to provide some kind of relief to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The process can begin by releasing political prisoners along with lifting the siege that has been imposed since 2019.  The suffocating atmosphere of suppression and repression needs to be ended. It is now up to the Government of India to walk the talk.
