Mysuru: Chamarajanagar BJP MP and former Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad has welcomed the Centre’s decision to revoke two Constitutional provisions — Article 370 and Article 35(A) — that gave the State of Jammu & Kashmir a host of special rights, saying that such an action was the need of the hour in J&K’s interest.
Speaking to press persons ahead of taking part at the interaction meet organised by V. Sreenivasa Prasad Abhimanigala Balaga as part of his (Prasad) birthday celebration at Rani Bahadur auditorium on Hunsur Road here this morning, Prasad said that the State of J&K was accorded a special status with a purpose. But some vested interests and divisive forces began to misuse Articles 370 and 35(A) that provided special status to the State, which gave rise to violence, hatred, terror etc.
