Mehbooba Mufti, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and PDP president, who was released from detention after 14 months, has promised to continue her struggle for the restoration of Article 370 and the resolution of the Kashmir issue.

In an 83-second audio message on Twitter late on Tuesday night, Mufti said, “We all have to pledge that we will take back what was snatched illegally, undemocratically and unconstitutionally on August 5 last year.”

“We will also have to work for the resolution of Kashmir issue for which thousands of people have laid down their lives,” she said.

The PDP leader added that it will not be an easy task as there will be difficulties in “this path but our steadfastness and determination will be our aides in this struggle”.

The 60-year-old politician was released on Tuesday night after the Union Territory administration revoked the Public Safety Act charges against her, more than a year after she was detained following the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

“As I have been released, all other persons (from Kashmir) who are detained in various jails across the country should also be released,” she said.

She also demanded the release of Kashmiri people languishing in various jails.

The Centre had ended the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into union territories on August 5 last year.
