As the revocation of Jammu Kashmir’s special status is set to complete one year on August 5, the former chief Minister of Jammu Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah demanded the restoration of Article 370 provisions for the people of Jammu Kashmir.
Farooq called for the restoration of Jammu Kashmir’s statehood and said he hoped that the Supreme Court would render justice by striking down the repeal of Article 370 provisions.
In his first media interview post the abrogation of Article 370 on August 05 that ended the erstwhile state’s special status, he said that his party would continue to contest the changes through all democratic means.
These changes were a “betrayal” of the trust reposed by the people of Jammu Kashmir when the State acceded to the Union of India, he said.
