Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said his party\u2019s position on Article 370 is \u201cnon-negotiable\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Abdullah, reacting to criticism over NC\u2019s silence on the restoration of statehood to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, said, \u201cWhy do they criticise?
