Advani hits back at Omar Abdullah over Article 370
New Delhi: S enior BJP leader LK Advani on Friday, advised Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah not to use words like‘cheating and deceiving’ and clarified that his party has always been opposed to Article 370.
Advani quotes from a biography of Sardar Patel to argue that even he was against Article 370 but kept his views in the background out of his regard for Nehru.
“Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir state, has every right to disagree with the BJP on matters relating to J&K.
“But I would advise him never to use offensive language and words like ‘cheating’ and ‘deceiving’ in that context,” Advani said on his blog.
Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, who founded the Jana Sangh was arrested in Jammu and Kashmir in 1952 when he tried to enter the state without a permit which was required then to go to there.
He died- allegedly under mysterious circumstances- during his incarceration.
“Since our very first all India session at Kanpur, we have been championing complete integration of J&K State with India,” Advani said.
