NC’s stand on Article 370 ‘non-negotiable’: Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said his party’s position on Article 370 is “non-negotiable”.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Abdullah, reacting to criticism over NC’s silence on the restoration of statehood to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, said, “Why do they criticise? That is their job. If they do not do their job, how will they survive? They can lie; they can say anything.”
The NC chief asserted that his party would not back down from its stand on the repealed special status of the territory. “Our party is running the way we want to run it. We will not back down, we will not bow down, and we will not retreat from our position on Article 370,” he said.
When asked about the twin blasts in Punjab, the NC president downplayed the incidents, saying, “There are always blasts in India. It is nothing new. Do not worry.”
