The Statesman|November 08, 2024
Condemning the Congress-led INDIA Alliance for the passage of a resolution seeking to reinstate Article 370 of the Constitution in the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly, the BJP on Thursday reiterated that the abrogation of Article 370 will not be rolled back and "the INDIA Alliance's efforts to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India will not succeed".
Abrogation of Article 370 passed by Parliament will not be reversed: BJP

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Smriti Irani challenged the Congress leadership, particularly the Gandhi family, to clarify whether they support terrorism or the development of Jammu and Kashmir.

Ms Irani accused the INDIA Alliance of attempting to undermine the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir, despite having pledged to uphold it. She condemned the actions of the Opposition bloc, alleging that they trampled on the rights of tribals, Dalits, and women in Jammu and Kashmir.
