‘I support Article 370. I’m a dimagi Naxal,” Mehbooba wrote on X and shared a picture of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee along with her father and former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
Earlier in a post, Rijiju wrote on X that those who stand with separatists and support Article 370 are dimagi Naxals, the term which Prime Minister Narendra Modi had used in his Independence Day speech that had evoked sharp criticism from opposition political parties.
“PM @narendramodi ji didn’t say opposition leaders as dimagi Naxals. Only following are dimagi Naxals: Who support Maoists and reject Indian Constitution. Who stand with separatists & support Article 370.Who want to cut chicken neck to separate North-East from India,” Rijiju wrote on X.
Several PDP leaders in Kashmir also copied Mehbooba saying they too are ‘dimagi Naxal’. Another PDP leader and Baramulla town in-charge Mohammad Shafi Bhat endorsed the message of the former J&K chief minister saying that he is also a supporter of Article 370 and a “dimagi Naxal”.
