Srinagar, Nov 15: Pradesh Congress committee president Tariq Hamid Karra on Friday said the demand for restoration of Article 370 was not raised in the resolution passed by the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, nor is there any mention of it.
Talking to a local news agency, Karra said the party had already made its stance clear on the issue when the J&K Assembly passed the resolution.
“We have already said that the only thing left to demand after the Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 is statehood,” he said.
He said the demand for restoration of Article 370 was not raised in the resolution, nor is there any mention of it.
Karra, who represents the Central Shalteng segment, said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is misrepresenting facts for political gains.
“Despite our clear-cut statement, the BJP is misrepresenting facts in elections,” he said.
In the recent statement of Congress president Malikarjun Kharge, Karra said that he has asked the BJP to tell who has talked about reinstating Article 370.
