Bjp Stand On Kashmir

Lashing out at Punjab Congress leaders for their controversial comments on Kashmir and Pakistan, BJP president JP Nadda asked party's national leadership to state clearly its stand on the issue as silence will be seen as "implicit support" to them.

BJP leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today asked the Congress leadership to make its stand clear on the purported remarks of Digvijay Singh that his party will have a "relook" at Article 370 revocation if it returns to power.

The BJP has pointed out what it claims are inconsistencies in the Congress's stand on the government's move to scrap special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and divide the state into two Union Territories.

Dismissing the BJP's allegations that Congress leaders were speaking Pakistan's language on scrapping of Article 370, party MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday asserted they are only saying how the residents of Jammu & Kashmir should be treated.

Bhubaneshwar Kalita, former Congress chief whip in Rajya Sabha who resigned from the House earlier this week opposing the party's stand on the government's decisions on Jammu and Kashmir, joined the BJP on Friday.

Home Minister Amit Shah was greeted by a standing ovation from his BJP colleagues when he entered the Rajya Sabha today to announce the far-reaching move to end special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution.

The BJP appears to have tweaked its tone on Article 370 and Article 35A, which gives Jammu and Kashmir its special status. Ram Madhav, the party's general secretary in charge of the state has said while the party's stand is clear, the decision will be made in parliament on the matter.

Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah may have taken to launching joint attacks against the BJP on Twitter, but their newfound solidarity on common issues doesn't seem to have percolated down the party ranks.

Political leaders in Jammu and Kashmir have reacted sharply to the BJP's manifesto where the party has reiterated its stand on scrapping Article 370 and 35A of the Constitution that grants special status to the state. The contentious issue has, in the past as well, evoked similar reactions from the state's leaders.

In the manifesto released this morning, the BJP maintained its stand on scrapping Article 370 and 35 A of the Constitution, which gives Jammu and Kashmir its special status. The party also said that it remains committed to ensuring that Kashmiri pandits return to the Kashmir Valley.

Slamming National Conference leader Omar Abdullah for advocating a separate prime minister for Jammu and Kashmir, BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday asked Congress chief Rahul Gandhi to clarify his stand on the issue raised by his electoral ally.

Making its stand on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, the Assam BJP on Thursday said that the state can be saved from becoming a 'Kashmir' only with the implementation of the Bill coupled with enforcing the Assam Accord's Clause VI and ST status to six communities.

India's stand on Gilgit-Baltistan region of Jammu and Kashmir is valid, legal and much stronger than Pakistan's illegal claim over the occupied territory in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or PoK, BJP leader Ram Madhav said on Thursday.

As Jammu and Kashmir is voting in the first of the four-phased municipal elections after a hiatus of 13 years, voters in Jammu are queuing up at polling stations, but staying away in Kashmir. Brisk voting was observed in almost all the wards in Jammu region with Rajouri registering the highest votes, but only seven per cent voters turned up in Kash...

Jammu and Kashmir police chief SP Vaid was removed from his post late on Thursday - part of a reshuffle at the top level of the state police that came days after serious differences between the Governor's administration and the police chief after he was divested of crucial administrative powers.
