SG cites another speech by Mufti @MehboobaMufti

Mufti-

"Will be difficult to uphold national flag. Local militants are sons of soil. They are assets".

Mehbooba Mufti

"All leaders and workers should unite against removal of 35A. NC, PDP or INC - we need to keep our differences aside and sacrifice life & property to protect J&K special status."

SG citing some of the speeches by political leaders when abrogation of Article 370 was speculated.

On July 28, Mehbooba Mufti said "we want to tell the central govt tinkering with article 35A will result in the whole body being burnt. We cannot forget sacrifices of our martyrs. PDP will stand for special status of Kashmir. Hands, body will be burnt"

July 29, Mufti said- many PDP members carried the national flag on their shoulders. If abrogated, no one will be left in Kashmir to shoulder the flag and no one would be left to carry bodies.

SG cites this statement

SG- While political leaders have freedom of speech and expression, please note some of these speeches

SG : We are fighting enemies from across the border. We are aware of the situation

SG- Sec 144 CrPC empowers authority to pass orders in urgent cases. SC reversed Karnataka HC's decision to interfere with order of 144, in larger public interest (Praveen Togadia case).

#Kashmir

SG refers to the case State of Karnataka v Praveen Togadia, where SC upheld prohibitory orders imposed for maintaining communal harmony.

SG- This is a preventive measure, not a remedy, in order to protect human life and security, and to ensure that law and order situation doesn't deteriorate

SG- They asked why restrictions were imposed when nothing happened. I submit that the actions were necessary and justified to prevent crime and breach of peace
