Mehbooba Mufti apologizes for Jantar Mantar remark, PDP plans protests
Mehbooba Mufti apologized for remarks made at a Jantar Mantar protest, stating it was a "slip of the tongue" and her words were taken out of context. She expressed regret for the statement, which appeared to justify force in Kashmir. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced protests for August 5 to demand the restoration of Article 370. Other political figures, including Altaf Bukhari and the National Conference, criticized Mufti's remarks.
