Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said she hoped that the Supreme Court would “not only reverse the revocation of Article 370 but also all the illegal laws brought in”.
“A state robbed of its legal and constitutional special status was cleaved into two and disempowered. Yet it took SC 3 years to list the case. Hope the Hon’ble Court stays not only revocation of Article 370 but also reverses all the illegal laws brought in,” she said.
Her remarks came a day after the Supreme Court said it would hear a batch of petitions, challenging the law used to scrap Article 370, after the summer holidays this year.
