BJP would not have touched Article 370 if Jammu and Kashmir was Hindu-majority state, says Chidambaram

Firstpost  

Former union minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday lambasted the BJP for the abrogation of Article 370 Chennai: Former union minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday lambasted the BJP for the abrogation of Article 370, saying the saffron party would not have “snatched away” the special status had Jammu and Kashmir been a Hindu-dominated state. Alleging that BJP revoked the Article with its “muscle power”, he said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was unstable and that international news agencies were covering the unrest, but not Indian media houses. Does it mean stable if Indian media houses don’t cover the unrest in Jammu and Kashmir?” He also took potshots at seven regional parties ruling in seven states, saying they did not cooperate against the BJP’s move in the Rajya Sabha out of “fear”. No matter who steals, history doesn’t forget to whom the product belongs.” Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “selectively” talking about laws that do not apply for Jammu and Kashmir on the day he addressed the nation after the abrogation of Article 370, the Congress leader said, “I can list out 90 other laws that apply to J&K.” Terming Congress leaders who quit the party as of “18-carat” quality, Chidambaram said only those still staying with the grand old party are of 22 and 24-carat quality.
