Jammu and Kashmir People Living In Fear, No Democracy: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today said there is no democracy in Jammu and Kashmir and people are living in fear after the Centre scrapped the state's special status on August 5.
Mr Azad was talking to the media as he concluded his six-day tour of the state.

"There is disappointment in Kashmir and the despair is also prevalent among the people in Jammu province. Except 100 or 200 people of the ruling party (BJP), nobody is happy (over the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the state into two Union Territories)," the former chief minister told reporters before leaving for Delhi.

Mr Azad, who had on Tuesday arrived in Jammu on the second-leg of his tour, had said the situation in Kashmir is "very bad".
