BJP Mahila Morcha president Vanathi Srinivasan on Sunday said it “impossible” for the opposition parties NC and PDP to ensure Article 370 restoration but they are fooling people by guaranteeing it in their manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections.
Addressing reporters after a meeting of Jammu and Kashmir Mahila Morcha at the BJP headquarters here in the run-up to the assembly polls, Srinivasan said the younger generation in the union territory want a peaceful life and development, which can only be ensured by her party.
In its manifesto, the National Conference (NC) mentioned 12 guarantees, including the restoration of Article 370 and Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood, while People’s Democratic Party (PDP) promised to pursue the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir to its “original status”, and advocate for confidence-building measures (CBMs) and regional cooperation between India and Pakistan.
