“Democracy was not there in Kashmir when they revoked article 370. Then “insaniyat” was not there because they had put everyone behind bars. And Kashmiriyat is something, which is basically the fundamental of secularism. Because in a Muslim majority state, there was a Hindu king, and both worked together. In fact, reservation in government services was given to Kashmiri Pandits.”
“Losing the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir is extremely sad decision. And the Congress party would definitely like to have a re-look at the decision,” he’s heard saying.
Many BJP leaders slammed the previous Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister as #Article370 trended on social media.
“Digvijay ji thanks that journalist for such a question. I request the Congress party to change its name and change INC to ANC (Anti National Club House). This is such a clubhouse in which all the people started hating India today while hating Modi ji,” mentioned Sambit Patra.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sought a reply from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. “Kashmir is an integral part of India. It was the Congress that committed the sin of bringing Article 370. What does Congress want to reconsider? Do they want to bring back separatists?” he mentioned.
Digviyaja Singh responded to all of the criticism in a sequence of tweets. “Millions of Congress workers sympathisers and all those who are opposed to BJP Modi Shah regime would fight every inch to vote out this disastrous regime (sic),” he mentioned in a publish.
“Perhaps, illiterate people don’t understand the difference between ‘shall’ and ‘consider’,” Mr Singh mentioned in one other tweet in Hindi.
It could look delusional to Shefali however Millions of Congress Workers Sympathisers and all those that are against BJPModiShah regime would combat each inch to vote out this disastrous regime. https://t.co/OmZdv5r4Wj

Special standing to Jammu and Kashmir beneath Article 370 of the Constitution was scrapped in 2019. Article 370 gave Jammu and Kashmir its personal structure and decision-making rights for all issues barring defence, communications and international affairs. Its elimination ended particular standing for Kashmir, which was key to its accession to India in 1947.
Many together with former chief ministers Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah and his father Farooq Abdullah have been detained for a number of months quickly after the centre’s transfer.
