"The Kashmiri language is our identity as well as a big weapon and during the past, we fought all battles with our mother tongue. But unfortunately, our identity, that is our mother tongue is in danger which results in us not being able to talk as we are living in an uncomfortable atmosphere." - Mehbooba Mufti, People's Democratic Party Chief
Srinagar, Jul 4: People's Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti has said that the Kashmiri language is their real identity and that people of Kashmir are fighting for their identity that is in danger.
The remarks were made by the PDP chief at a function to release the book titled 'Qatraen Huend Shahar' penned by Dr Gazanfar Ali Gazal at Tagore Hall in Srinagar yesterday. She said that the Kashmir language has its own importance and today's generation is not giving proper interest towards their mother tongue.
Earlier on Monday, PDP's chief Mehbooba Mufti welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to hear the pleas against the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories. A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court will hear on July 11 a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories.
