SRINAGAR : PDP leader Iltija Mufti on Friday said she was willing to cooperate with the police, while asserting that she is entitled to fight peacefully for the restoration of Article 370.
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti and her daughter Iltija Mufti have been booked for allegedly assaulting a police officer during PDP’s protest against abrogation of Article 370 on Tuesday.
A case under sections 132, 121 and 191(2) BNS has been registered against Mehbooba and Iltija for the alleged assault during the protest for restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
“If an inquiry happens against me, I am willing to cooperate with them, but I am not the first girl or the last Kashmiri whom the police have summoned. I am here to fight for every Kashmiri. This is not my personal fight,” she said.
The PDP leader said her protest was “not illegal”.
“Talking about Article 370 is my legal right. As an Indian citizen, I am entitled to fight peacefully, to wage a peaceful battle for the restoration of Article 370. And I want to tell the Indian government that what I am doing is not illegal,” she said.
She will keep fighting for the rights of every single Jammu and Kashmir resident, she added. (Agencies)
