PDP-BJP Govt Allowing Erosion of Article 370: Omar Abdullah

This comes after the Supreme Court held that J&K has no “vestige of sovereignty”outside the Constitution of India.

After the Supreme Court held that Jammu and Kashmir has “no vestige” of sovereignty outside the Indian Constitution and its own statute which is subordinate, Omar Abdullah on Sunday hit out at the PDP-led government saying its “weak” legal defence of state’s special status was “alarming” as it was allowing “step-by-step erosion” of Article 370.

Abdullah was reacting after the apex court held that provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act) are within the legislative competence of Parliament and can be enforced in Jammu and Kashmir.
