New Delhi, Sept 25: BJP working president J P Nadda on Wednesday asked party workers in Delhi to inform people about the advantages of the Modi government''s decision to abrogate special provisions for Jammu and Kashmir. The government on August 5 abrogated Article 370 provisions that gave special status to the state and bifurcated it into Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, which will come into being on October 31.
The BJP''s city unit, which is bracing for assembly polls in Delhi, scheduled to be held early next year, had organised a ''Jan Jagran Sabha'', where Nadda spoke about the history of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution.
"See (BJP president) Amit ji''s strategy. In Rajya Sabha, we did not have a majority but still we got the support of 125 members on the issue. I thank all the parties who supported us.
"When it happened, Pakistan raised a hue and cry over it but the entire world stood with (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi ji. Within a day, we got support from 10 countries and 100 diplomats also said it is India''s internal matter," he said.
Nadda said even at the UN Security Council meeting, there was no discussion over the issue. |
