Former chief minister (CM) of Madhya Pradesh and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan kicked off a controversy on Saturday (10 August) when he asserted that former prime minister (PM) Jawaharlal Nehru was a criminal who committed the crime of imposing Article 370, reports Asian News International (ANI).
He remarked, "He did the crime of imposing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. In one country, how can two symbols, two constitution and two heads can exist? This was not injustice but was a crime against the nation."
The development comes after the Bharatiya Janata Party revoked Jammu & Kashmir’s special status by abrogating Article 370 and bifurcated the state into separate Union Territories (UTs) of Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
