Both Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah have departed from their track of mainstream politics when they mentioned the Kashmir dispute and stressed for its resolution.

Mehbooba Mufti was first to take separatist space when through an audio message on her twitter account she mentioned the sacrifices of thousands of people for the Kashmir dispute and said that it should be resolved without any further delay.

Farooq Abdullah also followed the same lines when he briefed the press and said that not only they will fight collectively for the restoration of article 370 but also for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute which has consumed not only thousands of lives but also the economy of Kashmir.

Farooq Abdullah has already said that if the central government is talking to China even after their behavior in the eastern Ladakh border why they cannot talk to Pakistan and to the people of Kashmir for the final resolution of Kashmir dispute.

Mehbooba Mufti has set the stage for the struggle as she has already tried to take the space of separatists in Kashmir who are under detention from the past 14 months. She has talked about detentions and about the killings and also about the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

“We should all pledge to take back from Delhi what it usurped from us through unconstitutional, illegal, undemocratic means,” Mehbooba said in an audio message on her twitter account.
