The RSS leader said as he was repeatedly saying for last over four decades that Article 370 and 35 A are temporary provisions of Indian Constitution and they have to go and with the passage of time both these Articles were abrogated to pave way for the development and progress of the erstwhile J&K State. Likewise the day will come when entire PoJK will retrieved from forcible occupation of Pakistan, he added.
The RSS leader who had launched a movement for liberation of Sharda Peeth and was the brain behind establishment of Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra at Jammu about two decades back said not only Sharda Peeth but Kartarpur Sahib also belongs to India.
He said India’s borders in past were beyond Myamnar, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka but due to our own blunders the borders of the country were squeezed and in 1947 the unfortunate partition also took place due to the blunders of the leaders of that time.
Reiterating that had Article 370 and 35 A so beneficial for the people why the successive governments who misled people on the named of special status for about seven decades could not make it a permanent provision of the Constitution.

This is the reason that no country in the world today looks towards main powers but towards India which is the nation of Swami Vivekananda a great philosopher and a revolutionary saint of India.
