During a fiery debate on Article 370, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury made everyone raise their eyebrows when he asked if the J&K issue is an "internal matter". While addressing Parliament, he said, "You say that it is an internal matter. But it is being monitored since 1948 by the UN. Is that an internal matter? We signed Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration. Was that an internal matter or bilateral," asked Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted, "It is a historic day for the country today when Parliament has finally abrogated the Article 370 and passed the bills empowering the people of Jammu, Kashmir & Ladkah. It marks a new beginning in our history. I congratulate PM @narendramodi ji for his bold & courageous leadership."
Prime Mnister Narendra Modi said that the passage of key bills pertaining to Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are a fitting tribute to Sardar Patel, who worked for India’s unity, Babasaheb Ambedkar, whose views are well known and SP Mookerjee who devoted his life for India’s unity and integrity.
PM Modi said,''I salute my sisters and brothers of Jammu, Kashmir, & Ladakh for their courage & resilience.For years, vested interest groups who believed in emotional blackmail never cared for people’s empowerment. J&K is now free from their shackles. A new dawn, better tomorrow awaits.''
