Sonbhadra: In her first reaction to the scrapping of the special status for Jammu and Kashmir, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday said it was done in an unconstitutional manner.

The manner in which it has been done is totally unconstitutional and against the principles of democracy,” she told reporters Umbha, the village where 10 tribals were killed in July in a land dispute.

“There are rules that have to be followed when such things are done, which have not been followed,” she said. The Congress general secretary said her party always stood for safeguarding the Constitution.

“Unlike the BJP where only one voice is heard, in the Congress every voice is given importance and properly discussed to reach a conclusion,” she said.

Last week, Parliament adopted a resolution approving a government move to scrap provisions of Article 370 which gave J&K a special status under the Constitution and also passed a Bill splitting J&K into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra visited Umbha village, nearly a month after the UP administration prevented her from going to the site of the massacre by detaining her in Mirzapur.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma described her visit as a “political stunt”.

  1. All pro paki people exposed in Indian media and their support structures should have fiscal trackers shadow them and financial forensics and intel teams start going through all things about them. May be special division should be put together if not already there.

  2. That’s a laugh. In Congress, only ONE voice prevailed in ‘selecting’ Sonia for President. All ‘speak’, but reflect ONLY ONE VOICE. Everyone knows that.

  3. 1. Absence of internal democracy in the Congress party, right from days when late PM Jawaharlal Nehru was the supreme leader of the Congress party, is the main reason why the party finds itself in a pathetic situation today. Of course it is pretty difficult for family members of Rajiv Gandhi to accept this bitter truth. 2. It is unfortunate that Priyanka Gandhi has chosen the Kashmir issue to criticize BJP and PM Narendra Modi. But, how can she disregard factors which have compelled NDA government to take a decision of abrogation of Articles 35A & 370? Further, not one senior Congress leader has a proper solution to offer to solve Kashmir problem. 3. I am surprised by fact that critics of PM Modi are oblivious of unending terrorist activities in the valley which are carried on by Pakistan trained and funded terror outfits and their supporters in the Kashmir valley. 4. With regard to the Kashmir issue it is often claimed that Islamists have always viewed Kashmir as a component of global grievances. But when Islamic country like Pakistan is incapable of protecting its own innocent citizens, a majority of whom are poor Muslims, this claim of global grievance, is I believe, far stretched, and is simply untenable. 5. Lastly, we must not forget that Pakistan has a hidden agenda in Kashmir valley- of annexing Kashmir.

  4. This is true.

    A Pakistani journalist has fondly credited Rahul Gandhi, Lashkar e Taiba, Priyanka Gandhi, Jaish e Mohammed, P Chidambaram, Lashkar e Janghvi, Manishankar Ayyar, United Jihad Council to be beautiful supporters of Pakistani Jihad.

    Many voices, one goal and united.
