Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir: Minister Mir Saifullah says, "Article 370, the Section 35A, our flag, Constitution and statehood were all given by the National Conference, and only the National Conference can restore them. No other party has the capability to do so. We, the National Conference, have made a commitment that whatever has been taken away from us, we will bring it back. Let me tell you one thing: when a person struggles, they start from zero. When the struggle is complete, it becomes 100. We started from zero and have brought it to 100."
