Kashmir's special status nixed as it was Muslim-dominated state: P Chidambaram
Situation in Jammu and Kashmir was unstable: Congress leader
NEW DELHI (Dunya News) - Former Interior Minister of India and Congress leader P Chidambaram has lambasted the Modi’s BJP government for the abrogation of Article 370, saying the saffron party would not have "snatched away" the special status had Jammu and Kashmir been a Hindu-dominated state.
He said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was unstable and that international news agencies were covering the unrest, but not Indian media houses.
Chidambaram said that in the 70-year history of the nation, there has never been an example of a state being reduced to a Union Territory and it has always been the converse.
If J&K was a Hindu dominated state, BJP would not have done this, he said, adding that they did it only because the region is dominated by Muslims.
