Even Ambedkar would have been slandered as pro-Pakistan by BJP: Mehbooba Mufti

The BJP would have slandered even B R Ambedkar, the daddy of Indian Constitution, as pro-Pakistan had he been alive, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti stated Sunday, amidst criticism of Congress chief Digvijaya Singh over his remarks on Article 370.
Mehbooba stated Article 370 which gave particular standing to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir earlier than its operative provisions have been nullified by the Centre in 2019 was granted by the Constitution drafted by Ambedkar, but it surely has been “subverted” by the Centre.
Her remarks got here amidst rising criticism of the Congress and Digvijaya Singh over his purported feedback in an audio chat on social media that his social gathering can have a “relook” at Article 370 revocation and Jammu and Kashmir’s misplaced statehood if it returns to energy.

The BJP has stated that Singh’s remarks have been half of a bigger sample of the social gathering being “hand in glove” with Pakistan.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, who was a BJP ally for a while in Jammu and Kashmir, criticised the saffron social gathering.
“Thank god Ambedkar ji isn’t alive or else he too would be slandered as pro- Pakistan by BJP,” she stated on Twitter.

Singh had purportedly made the comment throughout a clubhouse dialog with an individual, who the BJP stated was a journalist of Pakistani origin.
“The decision of revoking Article 370 and reducing the statehood of J&K is extremely, I would say, sad decision, and the Congress party would certainly have a relook on the issue,” Singh had stated, in keeping with excerpts of the clubhouse dialog accessible on social media.
