Revoking Article 370 In J&K To Have Adverse Effect: Congress

Tewari was responding to a question over the issue of Kashmir being internationalized and the government accusing the Congress of speaking the language of Pakistan.A month after the BJP-led NDA government abrogated Article 370 related to Jammu and Kashmir, the Congress on Wednesday slammed the saffron party over the clampdown in the Valley and arrest of various leaders, saying the government`s step will have an “adverse” effect in the Valley.

“If the government has so much confidence in its policies, then why did it detain opposition leaders at Srinagar airport? The people and parties who held the Indian flag in Kashmir for the last 70 years, why were they put under house arrest?” Congress MP and spokesperson Manish Tewari said at a press conference.
