JAMMU: National Conference chief Omar Abdullah today warned the Mehbooba Mufti-led Jammu and Kashmir Government that BJP may use judiciary to scrap Article 370 as the “saffron party has understood that they cannot use legislation to scrap it.”
“BJP has perhaps admitted on their side that they cannot use legislation to scrap Article 370, which grants special powers to the State. Where they cannot use the legislation (to scrap Article 370), they can use judiciary to do it,” he said in the State Assembly here.
“Those who believe that BJP has done a good job on Article 370 and that the party has accepted that the article cannot be tempered with…They are wrong,” he said in the House, where Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti who had presented the grants of her Ministries of Home, Planning, GAD, Tourism and others, was also seated.
The NC leader warned the PDP-BJP coalition Government that the issue may snowball into a major controversy in the future. (AGENCIES)
