Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on July 1 suggested that the Centre make Jammu and Kashmir a gateway between South and Central Asia, and use its geographical location to strengthen ties with Pakistan and China. "The situation around the world is changing. You have seen how a small country like Iran used its strategic position -- the Strait of Hormuz -- to bring a powerful nation like the US to its knees. Jammu and Kashmir also has a strategic geographical position," Mehbooba said. Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir has been "engulfed" by a conflict between India and Pakistan, which led to sufferings, she said the Union Territory should be made a bridge of peace between the two countries instead. #jammuandkashmir #mehboobamufti #indiapakistan Thank you for watching our video!
