75% Of Jammu And Kashmir Backed Article 370 Move, Says Rajnath Singh

More than three quarters of the people in Jammu and Kashmir supported the scrapping of its special status, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday, adding that Article 370 of the constitution, which gave it the privileges, was like a "canker" that bled the state for decades.

Addressing a "public awareness meet" called "Jan Jagran Sabha" organised by the BJP in Patna, where party leaders spoke about the Narendra Modi government's move to strip Jammu and Kashmir of the special status, Mr Singh said the party has lived up to its promises.
