“I think Vice President Venkaiah Naidu will concede our right to say something on Kashmir.
If that right is granted, then we would like to say that it was wrong on the part of Govt. of India to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution of India unilaterally. That action on the part of Govt. of India was unconstitutional.
The fact is well known to those who care to read the Constitution of India carefully. Article 370 was incorporated in the Constitution of India, when a constitutional relationship was being worked out between J&K State and the Union of India.
The simple fact is that Govt. of India had no right to abrogate Article 370 unilaterally.
The people of the Jammu and Kashmir State have every right to raise their voice against the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India. We shall, therefore, continue to raise our voice!
Meanwhile, Shri Venkaiah Naidu would weigh in his mind whether he was entitled to say that nobody has any right to say anything on Kashmir.”
