The Congress on Saturday requested its leaders to observe the social gathering’s stance on the difficulty of abrogation of Article 370 as articulated within the August 6, 2019 decision of the CWC, after its chief Digvijaya Singh’s remarks sparked a row. “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 purportedly mentioned, in accordance to excerpts of his clubhouse dialog accessible on social media.

This is the only official stance of the party. “I urge and request all senior leaders to refer to the identical,” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said, when asked about Singh’s remarks.

We urge the individuals of J&Okay to preserve peace and calm,” it mentioned.
