Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah Not "Terrorists", Says Mamata Banerjee | Read

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said her party, the Trinamool Congress, will strongly oppose the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill that proposes to bifurcate the state into two union territories. Ms Banerjee also said the Centre should have consulted all political parties before coming to a decision to scrap Constitutional provisions that accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir. "We do not have any information regarding senior leaders like Farooq Abdullah ji, but we have seen in the media that (Mehbooba) Mufti and Omar Abdullah have been arrested. I request and appeal to the government that they are also Kashmiri people, and our brothers and sisters. They should not feel isolated," she said.
