Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Yashwant Sinha has said that Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir must get back erstwhile status as well as Articles 370 and 35-A, which were scrapped in August, last year.
In his twitter post, the former Indian minister, who is also the member of the Concerned Group of Citizens (CGC), welcomed the resolve of the local political parties in Jammu and Kashmir to insist on the restoration of the status quo ante.
He said he stands with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and the territory must get statehood again. The Articles 370 and 35-A must be brought back.
“I welcome the resolve of the political parties in J&K to insist on the restoration of the status quo ante. J&K must be a state again, Articles 370 an 35A must be brought back… ,” Sinha tweeted.
On Saturday, six pro-India political parties of Kashmir forged an alliance demanding that their political activities would be subservient to the sacred goal of reverting status of IIOJ&K as it existed on 4th August 2019.—KMS
