She said Jammu and Kashmir has already been turned into the military garrison and there was no need to induct more troops into it.
She said the Army has controlled the situation for the past three decades here to the extent that democratic process was restored and Assembly, Parliament and Panchayat elections were possible .

“The army has done its work for the cause of Kashmir and now the BJP wants to shoot guns from the shoulders of soldiers”, she alleged.
“If the problems could be solved with the military might then China who martyred our 20-22 soldiers and grabbed 2000 square kilometers of our soil… still they are engaged in dialogue and reconciliation,” she said
