Will boycott panchayat, 2019 Lok Sabha polls if Centre doesn't clear its stand on Article 35A, 370, threatens Farooq Abdullah

India TV News  

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has threatened that his party will boycott the upcoming panchayat polls in the state as well as the 2019 Lok Sabha polls if the Centre doesn't clear its stand on Article 35A and Article 370. "We will not only boycott panchayat elections but also Lok Sabha and Assembly elections if the Centre doesn't clear its stand on Article 35A and Article 370," Abdullah told reporters on Saturday during an event in Srinagar. Responding to a question over Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu's visit to Islamabad to attend Imran Khan's swearing-in ceremony and the controversy which erupted after the cricketer-turned-politician hugged Pakistan Army chief General Bajwa, Farooq Abdullah said there are elements in both the countries which do not want peace in the region. The Supreme Court on August 31 adjourned to January next year the hearing on a batch of petitions challenging the Constitutional validity of Article 35 A, which provides special rights and privileges to natives of Jammu and Kashmir, after taking note of submissions of the Centre and the state government that there was a law and order problem in the state.
