NC says Art 370 abrogation ‘historical blunder’

NEW DELHI: The National Conference on Tuesday attacked the Government in Lok Sabha for abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir saying it was a historical blunder and has not brought down militancy.

Speaking on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in Lok Sabha, NC member Hasnain Masoodi said despite the Centre abrogating Article 370 and withdrawing special status, a senior police officer was caught “hand in gloves” with militants.

“Abrogation of special status, Article 370 has been a historical blunder and not less than misadventure…. The basic value of truthfulness was murdered,” Masoodi said. (AGENCIES)
