SRINAGAR, June 29: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz today said that Kashmiri would not allow abrogation of Article 370 unless the very dispute on Kashmir was resolved.
“The truth is that the Constitution of India describes Article 370 not only as temporary but transitory and special, as well. But, then, the question is why couldn’t it be abrogated, replaced or even amended, all these years! It is precisely because the Kashmiris would not allow that thing to happen unless the very dispute on Kashmir was resolved. This is what people like Amit Shah have to understand,” he said in a statement, issued here today.
Prof Soz said that despite its erosion over a period of time, the Article guarantees Internal Autonomy of the J&K State and it can, therefore, neither be abrogated nor amended against the will of the people of J&K State.
