Addressing the press conference, Mufti said militancy has gone up ever since the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir was first put under President's rule and then bifurcated after the abrogation of Article 370 last year.

'Militancy has increased in their tenure. 10-15 youth are together joining militancy from each village," she suggested.

On the abrogation of Article 370, Mufti said, Article 370 was there to save the Dogra culture so that it doesn't disappear anywhere. Whether it is the flag of the country or the flag of Jammu and Kashmir, it was given to us by the Constitution. They (BJP) took away that flag from us on August 5, 2019.''
