Jammu and Kashmir Assembly ruckus: Smriti Irani of the BJP declared that Article 370, abrogated in 2019, would not be restored.
Bharatiya Janata Party’s Smriti Irani on Thursday hit out at the Opposition’s INDIA bloc as the Jammu and Kashmir assembly continued to be disrupted after Awami Ittehad Party MLA and brother of Engineer Rashid, Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh showed a banner on Article 370 in the House.
Addressing a press conference, the former Union minister clarified that Article 370, abrogated in 2019, was not to be restored.
“.Through the BJP workers, I want to assure citizens of India and tell leaders of INDI Alliance that Article 370 will not be restored in Jammu & Kashmir and their attempt to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India will not be successful,” Smriti Irani said.
On Wednesday, the Jammu and Kashmir assembly passed a resolution seeking the restoration of the region’s special status amid ruckus as Bharatiya Janata Party legislators tore copies of the document, stormed the House’s well, and raised slogans against the speaker.
