Bhai Daljit Singh slams BJP on
Article 370 plans
WSN Network
AMRITSAR:
Shiromani Akali Dal (Panch Pardhani) has opposed the BJP's move to
scrap Article 370 of the Indian Constitution if it comes to power
and said it was of the pattern that the saffron party has displayed
in the past as far as its treatment of minorities goes. Chairperson
of the party's presidium Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu said instead of
this talk about ending Article 370 status, the Indian political
parties should be discussing how to make the federal structure
stronger and decentralise powers so that various minorities and
regional movements could consider themselves as part of a democratic
set up rather than being under a muzzling, muffling Indian nation
state that only speaks the language of force.
