May 30, 2014 16:49

Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has criticised the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for raking up the issue of scrapping of Article 370 of the Constitution providing special status to Jammu & Kashmir and said it would have an adverse impact on the country.

"Nowadays discussion on removal of Article 370 is going on. Ending Article 370 will have adverse impact on the country," Manjhi said addressing a public reception hosted in his honour at Gaya last evening. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had made sacrifices to form India by merging thousands of princely states, he said.
