Kashmiris want change and ergo the 70% turnout during elections.There is nothing brave about it. It is intelligent politics and a sign that Kashmiris are gearing up for a much more adept "battle" against/with the Indian state. Essentially, they have realized that they have to make their wishes work within the framework of the India state.. much as the Congress and ML did with the British Empire. Use the sensibility of the state, the ideals of democracy.. to force the Indian state to give them what they want...which may not be independence if certain Pakistanis or Indians are befooled into thinking: How does that song go? "Na biwi na bacha.."
Dont think everyone here is simple enough not to understand BJP in Kashmir Valley. BJP has won their seats in Jammu DIstrict only and only in those areas where Hindus are Majority while PDP won Seats in Kashmir as well as Jammu(In Muslim Majority Areas in Jammu) while NC is now mostly begged their Success in Ladakh Muslim Region like Kargil and Congress is limited to Leh and other Budhist Regions. That is the real picture here. Their were some Vote divide between PDP and NC in few parts of Kashmir and Jammu. As per Thanking Pakistan is concerned and in front of Narender Modi then here is what Writer(Local Kashmiri) himself explains in his ArticleKashmiris want change and ergo the 70% turnout during elections.
And if they were battling against the Indian state (as you said) then BJP would not 've got 25seats in Kashmir, btw PDP got just 3 seats more....so much for a change!! lolzz
Now the real reason why Mufti Sayeed thanked Pakistan and separatists 're because he doesn't want 'em to come and kidnap his daughter again.
Why did Mufti make this statement at the beginning of his tenure? The reason is that his party’s alliance with the BJP isn’t very popular in Kashmir and he wants the focus to shift to something that shows him as stronger than the BJP in his core constituency. Over its 16 years, the PDP has slowly encroached into the separatist constituency with its soft separatist posturing. The party’s self-rule agenda provides an important role to Pakistan as the PDP has sought a joint mechanism to connect the two Kashmirs divided by the LoC and even advocated dual currency.
The local politics of Kashmir stinks! Everyone wants his place under the sun. And now after the unilateral release of a separatist honcho named Masarat Alam who has dozens of cases against him including waging war and who also carried a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to his arrest, it would be interesting to see if the BJP withdraws from the government and J&K comes under President's rule, controlled by the Center.Nice Article by local Journalist of the Kashmir Valley under Indian Control. It explains quite a lot about local Politics of Indian part of Kashmir.
It was Indian Central Govt. and BJP that tried to play with fire by revoking Article 370 and check out what they get. A overwhelming Unity of Kashmiris supporting Soft Posturing Separatists who talks about Self Rule and Dual Currency in the form of PDP. So it was the response that Indian Govt. and BJP asked for and Kasmiris deliver. Things would be Quite if they never touched the sensitive Article 370 which could led to favorable outcome for BJP but they blew it and made it worse. This whole thing you mentioned is part of it and BJP is on defensive Position here in front of their Voters.The local politics of Kashmir stinks! Everyone wants his place under the sun.

So Mufti must tread carefully and stop his shenanigans from now on or he'll be sitting at home without a portfolio.
You just wrote a big paragraph about BJP and article 370I am not from India or Kashmir to say anything.

When a Mufti's own CREDIBILITY is on the line after joining BJP that is the simplest response Expected here and its not because of Mufti's Daughter Kidnapping because same Hurriyat People are Supporting him right now. The thing is that Indian Govt. Tried to play Article 370 card but got PDP in return with SOFT SEPARATIST AGENDA and in Overwhelming numbers. This is what this Mandate means here that Kashmir is trying to say to Indian Govt. that we dont want you here so buzz of from our local affairs.
