Kashmir: Chidambaram’s remarks ‘very provocative’, says BJP

The Hindu  

The BJP on Monday termed as “very irresponsible and provocative” Congress leader P. Chidambaram’s comment that the Union government had revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status because it was a Muslim-dominated State and it would not have done so if Hindus were in a majority there. While Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad accused the former Home Minister of making a very irresponsible and provocative statement, BJP leaders Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, also a Union Minister, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the Congress was giving the issue a communal angle. Defending the decision to revoke Article 370, Mr. Naqvi said the government had rectified a very big mistake made decades ago by the Congress. Mr. Chouhan, a former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, said it was the Congress’ “narrow- mindedness” that it was looking at the issue through a “Hindu-Muslim” prism.
