KANPUR: All the issues in Kashmir can be resolved if Article 370 is removed, said actor Anupam Kher.
Kher, a Kashmiri Pandit, has been vocal about issues that affect the Valley.
“Removal of Article 370 is the solution to all problems of Kashmir,” said the 64-year-old actor when he was asked if the BJP will work for the Kashmiri Pandits now that it is in power.
The BJP, in its manifesto for 2019 Lok Sabha polls, reiterated its demand for retraction of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution which are provisions specific to Jammu and Kashmir.
Article 370 grants special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, while Article 35A, incorporated into the Constitution in 1954, provides special rights and privileges to the citizens of the state.
On BJP winning simple majority in the recent Lok Sabha elections, Mr Kher said, “The whole country is in favour of the Modi government. It is not a small majority, it is a huge mandate. The opposition should now quietly let this government work.”
Kher had campaigned extensively for his wife and BJP leader Kirron Kher, who won the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat for a second term.
