Recent reports suggested the J&K administration under Governor Satya Pal Malik was looking to ease the procedure for the grant of permanent resident status.
PDP chief's statement comes hours after the National Conference announced decision to boycott elections until Centre clarifies its stance on the issue.

What I meant by “ disowning “ Article 370 is to drop the commitment to have it abolished. Also a grim editorial today in the Indian Express on Kashmir.
True statesmanship would lie in disowning Article 370 completely. I did not know till quite recently that there is something called Article 35.A.

Time to reflect whether it is,emotionally, an integral part of India, as Kerala and Bengal are, or an outpost to be held by sheer force.
