NDA ally Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has asked the newly-formed Narendra Modi government not to take any decision on Article 370 in haste. SAD patron and Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal said that abrogation of the article was a sensitive issue and needed restraint.
Cautioning against a unilateral decision on the issue Badal said, “The Union government must take all political parties into confidence before taking any action on such issues. Modi will take a final call on the issue in consultation with the senior leadership of all political parties.“
The chief minister insisted on an amicable solution on whether to continue with Article 370, giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir or to scrap it.
The issue was raked up by Union minister of state in the PMO, Jitendra Singh when he said that the process of abrogating Article 370 had already begun. Immediately after taking charge on Tuesday , Singh had said that the government was already discussing the issue with leaders in Jammu and Kashmir, which attracted angry reactions from chief minister Omar Abdullah and others.
