"The same Supreme Court had earlier said that Article 370 cannot be amended without the recommendation of the constituent assembly. They were also learned judges. Today some other judges passed the ruling. We cannot treat it as God's verdict," she said.
Mehbooba also said that she will not lose hope and continue her fight in this regard.
"We do not have to lose hope. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have struggled for several years in which we have suffered losses. They want us to lose hope, accept defeat and sit back at home. This will not happen," she said.
