She said the Centre's decision of August 5 was a "daylight robbery".

"We all have to pledge that we will take back what was snatched illegally, undemocratically and unconstitutionally on August 5 last year. We will also have to work for the resolution of Kashmir issue for which thousands of people have laid down their lives," Mehbooba said on Twitter.

The PDP leader said it will not be an easy task as there will be difficulties in this path but our determination will be our aides in this struggle.

Mehbooba also demanded the release of Kashmiri people languishing in various jails.

"As I have been released, all other persons from Kashmir who are detained in various jails across the country should also be released," she said.

Mehbooba was released on Tuesday night after the Union Territory administration revoked the Public Safety Act charges against her, more than a year after she was detained following the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
