PDP & NC swear by Article 370 and 35-A to secure votes
4/4/2019 11:35:50 PM
Both Mehbooba Mufti and Dr Farooq Abdullah seem to have been arch crusader for keeping Article 370 and 35-A untouched. While Mehbooba talks of relations between India and Jammu and Kashmir to assume a different shape Farooq Abdullah says that Article 370 which grants to the state of Jammu and Kashmir is a temporary provision till the Plebiscite was held in the state to determine the wishes of people of Jammu and Kashmir. But Mehbooba feels that if Article 370 was withdrawn relations between India and Jammu and Kashmir may cease. She does not believe that Article 370 is a temporary provision and it can be revoked once the state witnessed a plebiscite
National Conference president and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah has said Article 370, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was a "temporary provision" till plebiscite was held in the state. Addressing party workers at NC headquarter here, Abdullah said after India's Independence, a special constitution was drafted for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 as per which Kashmir had its own rights barring on defence, foreign affairs, currency and communication."Many people tell you that Article 370 was temporary (aarzi) provision. It was so, as people were supposed to decide the future of this state through plebiscite. And it was only after people had exercised their right that this Article (370) could have been abolished," he said. Abdullah, however, said under a conspiracy, Sheri-Kashmir (Sheikh Abdullah) was unceremoniously sacked in 1953 and such governments were installed in Jammu and Kashmir, which eroded Article 370.BJP President Amit Shah has disliked the way NC and PDP besides the Congress have given nedw dimensions to the already instrument of Accession.
"It was done by Bakshi sahib, Sadiq and Qasim (former prime minister and chief ministers of the state). Their governments were not by the people but their governments were dependent on New Delhi. And they did everything to stay in the power," he said. In fact under Article 370 no central law can be extended to the state of Jammu and Kashmir without the approval of the state legislature. And many central laws, in hundreds, were made applicable to Jammu and Kashmir with the approval of state Legislature and the one during the rule of the National Conference many laws were extended to the state through approval of the state Legislature. Referring to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's blog about abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Abdullah dared the BJP to revoke Article 370 and Article 35A.
Training his guns towards Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdullah said party president Mehbooba Mufti is adopting the same tactics to grab power in the state. Both Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti wish to secure success in the Lok Sabha and later Assembly elections and that is why they are loud about Article 370 and 35-A.
