Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mahbuba Mufti appreciated the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, but said that India meant Indira Gandhi for her.

During a program related to Kashmir in the national capital, Mehbuba Mufti said that she is disappointed with the kind of India is being shown in the prime time of television because it deepens the gap between India and Kashmir.

She said that she does not know that India, which is shown in excited television discussions.

The Chief Minister said, "I am sorry to say that the television anchor presenting the image of India is not about India, which is not about India which I know."

Pointing to the Sangh Parivar who disliked the Nehru-Gandhi family, she said, "For me, India means Indira Gandhi. When I was growing up, she represented India for me. It may be that some people do not like that, but that was India. Mehbooba said, "I want to see that India, who screams, feels the pain of Kashmir. The India that embraces us on our terms. We have different types of states, in which there is diversity in religion and everything. Kashmir is a small India in India."

Strongly opposing any attempt to abrogate the special constitutional status of Kashmir, she says, "Some people are talking about our flag, and sometimes talk about Article 370 ... which is ours people of the state are very dear and it is helpful in maintaining the unique identity of the state."

The Chief Minister hoped for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir issue. She said, "I think Modi is a personality of this time. It can be a personality of history and their leadership is a property that needs to be exploited. And there should be a way to work together and take out Kashmir from crisis."
