Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Tuesday said Article 370 is the only constitutional link between the state and rest of India. Talk of revocation of not just ill informed it’s irresponsible.
Omar made these observations while reacting sharply to the maiden interaction of newly appointed MoS PMO, Dr Jitendra Singh.
After assuming charge of office in the National capital Dr Singh had claimed that the govt was in a process of repealing Article 370.
“We are in the process of repealing Article 370 and are in talks with the stakeholders,” Dr Jitendra told Aaj Tak News channel. “Article 370 is more like a psychological barrier”, he added Dr Jitendra had earlier told a Delhi-based news agency that the government was open to debate on Article 370. Article 370 of the constitution gives a special status to the Jammu and Kashmir.
In a series of tweets Omar tuesday evening wrote on the micro blogging site claiming,”So the new MoS PMO says process/discussions to revoke Art 370 have started. Wow, that was a quick beginning. Not sure who is talking”.Omar also said,”Mark my words & save this tweet – long after Modi Government is a distant memory either Jammu and Kashmir won’t be part of India or Art 370 will still exist”.
