Farooq Abdullah Disagrees with PM Modi on Article 370 Abrogation
National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has contradicted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that the abrogation of Article 370 was a watershed moment for the country.
Abdullah questioned the BJP’s claims of accelerated development in Jammu and Kashmir post-2019, citing issues like unemployment and poor economic conditions.
He accused the BJP of dividing the country on religious lines, referencing the PM’s election campaigning in the last general elections.
Abdullah emphasized India’s secular nature, highlighting its unity in diversity and the importance of remaining united to face external challenges.
He criticized the BJP’s stance on Article 370, saying it was part of the RSS’s manifesto from the start.
Abdullah expressed disappointment and hurt at the PM’s statements, urging unity to strengthen India.
He sarcastically referred to the recent incidents of water leakage in the new Parliament building and Ram temple in Ayodhya as “tremendous progress”.
Abdullah’s statements reflect his opposition to the abrogation of Article 370 and his concerns about the country’s unity and development.
