Irrelevant to discuss Article 370 in J&K Assembly session: BJP
The debate surrounding Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, has been a contentious issue in the region for a long time. The BJP, which has been a strong proponent of the abrogation of Article 370, has now taken a stance that it is “irrelevant” to discuss the issue in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly session.
BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, made this statement while speaking to the media on the sidelines of the ongoing Assembly session. According to Sharma, it would be a waste of time to discuss Article 370 in the Assembly, as the issue has already been settled.
“The LG’s address didn’t reflect the promises made by the state’s present government,” Sharma said, referring to the address of Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to the Assembly. “It’s irrelevant now to discuss Article 370. We should focus on more pressing issues and work towards the development of the state.”
Sharma’s statement comes at a time when the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is holding its ongoing session, with several key issues on the agenda. The discussion on Article 370, which has been a contentious issue in the region for years, has been a major point of debate in the Assembly.
The BJP has been a strong proponent of the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The party has argued that the provision was used by the previous governments in the state to discriminate against the rest of the country and to undermine the country’s sovereignty.
However, the opposition parties in the state, including the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party, have been strongly opposed to the abrogation of Article 370. They have argued that the provision is an integral part of the state’s special status and that its abrogation would lead to the erosion of the state’s autonomy.
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has been holding its ongoing session since the beginning of the year, with several key issues on the agenda. The discussion on Article 370 has been a major point of debate in the Assembly, with several parties taking strong positions on the issue.
The BJP’s stance on Article 370 has been a major point of contention in the state, with many opposition parties accusing the party of trying to undermine the state’s autonomy. The party has argued that the abrogation of Article 370 was necessary to bring the state in line with the rest of the country and to ensure that it does not become a hub for separatist and terrorist activities.
The Jammu and Kashmir government, led by the BJP, has been working towards the development of the state and to improve the lives of its citizens. The government has launched several initiatives, including the establishment of new industrial units and the improvement of infrastructure, to boost the state’s economy.
However, the opposition parties in the state have been critical of the government’s efforts, accusing it of not doing enough to address the state’s key issues. The parties have also been critical of the government’s handling of the Article 370 issue, accusing it of not consulting with the people of the state before taking the decision to abrogate the provision.
In conclusion, the BJP’s stance on Article 370 has been a major point of contention in Jammu and Kashmir. The party’s decision to abrogate the provision has been met with strong opposition from several parties in the state, who have argued that it is an integral part of the state’s special status. The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is currently holding its ongoing session, with several key issues on the agenda. While the discussion on Article 370 has been a major point of debate in the Assembly, the BJP has argued that it is “irrelevant” to discuss the issue now.
