Senior BJP chief and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday requested the Congress management to make its stand clear on the purported remarks of Digvijaya Singh that his get together can have a “relook” at Article 370 revocation if it returns to energy, saying “time of silence is over”. A row erupted on Saturday over Congress chief Digvijaya Singh’s feedback in an audio chat on social media that his get together can have a “relook” at Article 370 revocation and Jammu and Kashmir’s misplaced statehood if it returns to energy, with the BJP accusing him of spewing venom in opposition to India in “collaboration” with Pakistan.
“It’s now greater than a day when the central management of the Congress is sustaining a conspicuous silence on its stand about Article 370. Does the Congress need restoration of Article 370 as Digvijaya Singh has indicated? Time of silence is over. Please clarify your clear stand,” Prasad wrote on Twitter.
Singh had mentioned, “The choice of revoking Article 370 and lowering the statehood of J&Ok is extraordinarily, I might say, unhappy choice, and the Congress get together would definitely have a relook on the difficulty. Singh was responding to a query concerning the “approach ahead” on the difficulty “as soon as the Modi authorities is gone” . Whereas abrogating Article 370, good governance was promised each in J&Ok and Ladakh. The pace with which vaccination in opposition to COVID-19 is happening even within the remotest components of J&Ok and Ladakh is an indication of pro-people good governance within the area, Prasad mentioned in one other tweet.
Singh’s remarks to an individual, who the BJP mentioned was a journalist of Pakistani origin, have been seized by its leaders on Saturday to unleash a torrent of criticism in opposition to the opposition get together and demand statements from Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi on the difficulty.
