In a press statement here veteran leader said that Article 35 A was added to strengthen Article 370 by Presidential order in 1954 by Dr Rajendra Prasad even Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru Prime minister of India has often said that Article 370 was itself a temporary provision and will erode with the passage of time. Mr Singh said, ” If we get rid of Art 35A the people of Jammu and Ladakh will be more benefitted if the Supreme Court of India decide in the favour of removing Art 35A.”
The NCP leader further said that this article was not in the interest of the people from Jammu and Ladakh region and it must go.
