People Of Jammu And Kashmir Are Living-Corpses indiatoday.in

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said that people in Jammu and Kashmir have no expectations from the present Narendra Modi government. He said the people living in Jammu and Kashmir are nothing but living corpses which explains the silence in the Valley after Article 370 was revoked in the state in August.

Appearing on Agenda AajTak, in the session Kitna Ghulam, Kitna Azad, the former chief minister of the state said that people of Jammu and Kashmir were against the revocation of Article 370 but what affected the people more was making bifurcation of the state and its demotion as a Union Territory. He said that he was not in agreement with the government in the way Article 370 was removed. He said, “There were other constitutional ways to do this.” He said that Congress had also brought about changes in the Valley before and at that time, it was cleared by the assembly and the cabinet in Jammu and Kashmir. He said, “Governor is your (BJP), Government is your, you introduce any bill, you pass it, where is the cabinet there?”.
