Azad questioning integrity of Kashmiris: Govt

August 08, 2019 17:21

The government reacts to the Congress party's J-K leader on his claim on Kashmiris that "Paise dekar aap kisiko bhi saath le sakte ho (Anyone can be brought along with money).

MoS PMO Jitendra Singh said, "He is seasoned leader, because to say something like this would amount to questioning integrity of Kashmiris. Let's not forget resolution to abrogate Article370 was passed by both Houses."

The BJP hit back at Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad for alleging that National Security Advisor Ajit Doval's visit to Jammu and Kashmir was orchestrated with money, and demanded his apology, saying that the remarks could be used by Pakistan on global forums.

After the Centre stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status granted under Article 370 of the Constitution, NSA Doval undertook a whirlwind visit to the militancy-infested south Kashmir and was seen sharing lunch on Wednesday with locals on a footpath outside closed shops. The pictures and videos went viral on social media.
