Union Minister CR Paatil on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing its leaders of hypocrisy regarding the restoration of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Jammu and Kashmir assembly recently passed a resolution urging dialogue with the central government to restore Article 370, which was repealed on August 5, 2019, stripping the region of its special status.
Paatil emphasized the benefits J-K has seen since the repeal, including enhanced freedoms for residents and a significant reduction in terrorist activities, alleging Congress leaders of undermining these improvements.
