MoS Jitendra Singh and Hardeep Singh Puri slam Digvijaya Singh
Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh slammed the Congress party leader for his stand on Article 370. Singh stated that Digvijaya Singh’s remarks reflect the mindset of the Congress party that has ‘sown the seeds’ of separatism in Kashmir. Moreover, he also blamed the grand old party’s similar statements that facilitate ‘Pakistan’s designs’ in the valley.
Union Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has also hit out at Digvijaya Singh after his remarks. The Union Minister stated that the Congress should come to terms with the abrogation of article 370 instead of echoing similar sentiments from across the border, thereby referring to Pakistan. He added that democracy in Kashmir before abrogation of Article 370 was only in the hands of the ruling elite. Moreover, he further hit out and said that instigators of violence sent their kids abroad while giving stones in the hands of children of the common people of Kashmir. (Agency)
It is precisely this mindset of the Congress party which has sown the seeds of separatism in Kashmir and facilitated Pak designs in the Valley. https://t.co/T2fHkdtYyq

Instead of playing to the gallery across the border Congress must come to terms with abrogation of article 370.
