Don’t repeat mistakes of ’65, ’71: Rajnath Singh warns Pak

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Article 370 was like a “canker” that bled Jammu and Kashmir, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday, asserting that more than three-fourths population of the erstwhile state supported its abrogation.

Addressing a “Jan Jagran Sabha” (public awareness meet) organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party in Patna where leaders spoke on the Narendra Modi government’s move to strip J&K of the special status, Singh said the party has lived up to its promises.

“As a nationalist party, the BJP never softened its stand on the issue. Article 370 was like a canker (nasoor) which left J&K bleeding. We have now demonstrated that we are an honest and credible party which fulfills its promises,”Singh said evoking applause from the crowd.
