Speaking to reporters here in Srinagar, he said everyone is presenting a case in front of the Supreme Court. “Earlier also, two judgments have been given by the Supreme Court in favour of Article 370. We are all confident that if our lawyers put the case before them they will look at it justly and give justice to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh,” he said.
In a reaction to Democratic Progressive Azad Party chief, Ghulam Nabi Azad’s ‘Hinduism existed before Islam’ remark, Dr Abdullah said that he has no idea why he had to raise the issue given the fact that he knows the history of J&K.
“I don’t know why he had to raise this. He knows the history J&K…It is for him to answer what was the necessity of bringing another thing to the front,” he added.
