BJP warns Centre against any hasty step on Kashmir issue

Jammu, March 01: The BJP yesterday warned the Centre against any “hasty” step on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Any reversal of the integration process or taking any hasty decision by the central government against national interest cannot be tolerated,” Leader of the BJP Legislative Party Chaman Lal Gupta told reporters after submitting a memorandum to Governor N N Vohra after commencement of the Assembly’s budget session yesterday.

He lashed out at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his statement on the floor of the House on October 6 last year in Srinagar on the issue of accession of J&K.

“This is against the spirit of Constitution of the state. Pakistan has not locus standi in J&K and its position is clear that of an aggression,” he said.
