Basic rights in India have become 'luxuries' & 'entitlements': Mehbooba Mufti writes to CJI

Basic rights in the country have now become "luxuries" and "entitlements" bestowed upon only those who toe the government's line on political, social and religious matters, former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti said on Saturday. In a letter to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, she also alleged that the trust deficit and growing alienation have only widened in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
