SRINAGAR, Apr 13: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that BJP National, president Amit Shah was wrong on the abrogation of Art 370.
“There is a stake in my library where the BJP Manifestos for 1998, 2004, 2009, 2014 & 2019 are in a Pile! All Manifestos assert that Article 370 of the Indian Constitution would be abrogated. The hoax had been maneuvered for the gullible voters to be hoodwinked for winning a particular election,” Soz said.
“Amit Shah and the likes of him in the RSS/BJP, know fully that Article 370 can neither be abrogated nor amended, against the will of the people of J&K State. The strangest part of this electoral game has been that a sane man like Atal Behari Vajpayee too, had been made part to this meaningless and misleading narrative,” he added.
” The moot point is that Modi-Amit Shah duo and other die-hard elements in the RSS/BJP camp are desperately raising a rhetoric which has been woven together with a deeply divisive and communal propaganda, has already caused harm to a secular and pluralistic polity that India had to be. How much harm the democratic and secular institutions of Indian polity have suffered during BJP/RSS dispensation, will be known only when this dispensation is out,” Soz remarked.
