Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said that assembly elections were not her priority as she would like to focus on restoration of basic rights of the people of the erstwhile state.

Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, the former chief minister said that election is a distant issue. “Our priority should be restoration of basic rights of people which are being denied. People should have the freedom of movement, freedom of expression.”
