On July 28, Mufti at a function in New Delhi had warned that any tinkering with the special status granted to the state would have serious ramifications and there would be no one to hold the tricolour.
"CM Mehbooba has said if any tinkering is done with Article 370, then there will be nobody to give shoulder to the tricolor," he said while addressing the media.
Mufti had spoken on issues like Article 35-A, which gives special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370, and said efforts should be made that no one tinkers with it.
"Who is doing it? Why are they doing it? (challenging the Article 35-A). Let me tell you that my party and other parties who carry the national flag there (in Jammu and Kashmir) despite all risks...I have no doubt in saying that there will be no one to hold it if it is tinkered," she had said.
