Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge addressed a gathering in Jaipur, Rajasthan on Saturday (April 6). During this he mentioned Article 370 and said what does it concern the people here. During this, his tongue slipped and he mistakenly said that instead of Article 370, the Modi government will abolish Article 371. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized him for this and said that Congress has lost the moral right to remain a political party.
Union Home Minister regarding the statement of Mallikarjun Kharge Amit Shah Reminded the Congress that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and every state and citizen has the right over it, just as the people of Jammu and Kashmir have the right over the rest of the country.
‘Congress has lost the status of being a national party’
At the same time, BJP’s national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said that if any party says that the integration of Kashmir makes no difference to it in other states, then it is clear that the oath taken by everyone for the unity and integrity of the country has to be ignored. There is no respect for Congress. The BJP leader alleged that after Kharge’s comments on Article 370, Congress has almost lost the status of being a national party.
BJP shared Kharge’s clip
PM Modi also responded to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement regarding Kashmir. He said that Congress is pained by the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. He does not like the discussion of Kashmir. Party President JP Nadda and other BJP leaders have also shared this clip of Kharge’s speech on social media platform X.
In the clip, Kharge is saying that what does (this) have to do with the people of Rajasthan? The Congress President also wrongly mentioned Article 371 instead of Article 370. Article 370, which gave special rights to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated by the BJP-led central government in August 2019.
