We diluted Article 370 twelve times without controversy: Congress

The Congress on Sunday claimed it “diluted and abrogated” Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir as many as twelve times without creating any controversy. Addressing a press conference here, Congress spokesman Pawan Kheda said, “Not once or twice, but the Congress party diluted article 370 as many as 12 times, but without letting any controversy break out.” Kheda said the country’s affairs are run through dialogue and not through controversies. He said Congress understands this fact but “the ruling BJP doesn’t” as its entire politics is founded on controversies.
Kheda said the party’s stand on Article 370 has not changed at all but it is objecting to the way the BJP government annulled it. He also accused the BJP government at the Centre of not implementing the GST properly, saying it has resulted in small businessmen, manufacturers and farmers are driven to the verge of ruin today.
