Panaji, Jan 3: BJP working president J P Nadda said on Friday that with the scrapping of Article 370, corruption in Jammu and Kashmir would now be probed, and those found guilty would be "either in jail or out on bail". He was here to address a rally in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). People of Kashmir were happy with the scrapping of the state's special status as they became part of mainstream India, the BJP leader said. Before the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, several laws passed by Parliament were not implemented in the Himalayan state, he said. The law such as the Prevention of Corruption Act was not implemented in Jammu and Kashmir, so the leaders there could have their way out (of scams) despite being involved in corruption,” Nadda claimed. “The Indian government was giving them money and they kept on syphoning it off, there was no audit or inquiry. |
