The PDP president and former chief minister of Jammu Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti said that the claim made by the government about heavy investment flow into Jammu Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 is a “lie”.
Quoting official data, the former CM tweeted, “Despite GOIs tall claims of heavy investment flow into J&K post abrogation of Article 370, the figures presented by them in the Parliament prove otherwise. 840 crores in 2017-18 vis-à-vis 376 crores in 2021-22. A lie has no legs.”
Article 370, a constitutional provision was abrogated in August 2019. The article gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu Kashmir while Article 35-A prohibited people from the rest of India to buy properties in the erstwhile state.
