‘Article 370 can’t be restored in Kashmir’, says Ghulam Nabi Azad

The former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said, that the current party should not lie to people about Article 370. He also told the public that he will fight for the improvement of statehood and the protection of jobs and land for residents of J&K.

Previously at his first rally after exiting Congress, Ghulam Nabi Azad said that Article 370 is done and dusted and it was almost impossible for any political party to bring it back.

“I will not mislead anyone. Neither for votes, nor politics will I exploit you. Please don’t rake up issues that can’t be achieved. Article 370 can’t be restored. It needs a majority in parliament,” Azad told the public.

Further, the ex-CM also said the Congress was going down with every election and no party in India can get a majority in parliament and restore article 370. “Neither the Congress nor any other regional party or leaders … Mamata, DMK, Sharad Pawar or anyone can get back 370,” he said.

“J&K has been going through a difficult phase since 1947 and more than one lakh people have lost lives and leaders have banked on falsehoods to deceive the masses. The politics of exploitation has led to the killing of one lakh people in Kashmir. It has orphaned five lakh children and caused massive distraction” he said.
