In a current dialog with a Pakistan-based journalist on the Clubhouse app, Congress chief Digvijay Singh hinted at ‘relooking’ the choice of revoking Article 370.
During the dialog, Digvijay mentioned, “Democracy was not there in Kashmir when they revoked Article 370, ‘insaniyat’ was not there as they had put everyone behind bars. Meanwhile, ‘Kashmiriyat’ is something that is the fundamentals of secularism. Because in a Muslim-majority state there was a Hindu king and both worked together. In fact, the reservation in Kashmir was given to Kashmiri pandits, therefore, the decision of revoking Article 370 and reducing the statehood of J&K, is a sad decision. And the Congress party will certainly have to relook at this issue,”
The choice to revoke Article 370 was taken on August 5, 2019, by the Narendra Modi-led BJP authorities in a bid to combine Jammu and Kashmir with India.
Digvijay was responding to Shahzeb Jillani, a Pakistan-based journalist presently residing in Germany who had that he was shocked on the altering panorama of politics and Indian society beneath the Modi regime. He alleged that publish revocation of Article 370, the connection between India and Pakistan have strained. He additionally added that within the final couple of months the media is talking up in opposition to the Narendra Modi authorities.
Meanwhile, the opposition leaders condemned Singh’s assertion and BJP’s Amit Malviya mentioned, “This is what Pakistan wants.” Shandilya Giriraj Singh, BJP Karyakarta tweeted, “Digvijay Singh conveyed Rahul Gandhi’s message to Pakistan. Congress will help Pakistan in grabbing Kashmir.”

अनपढ़ लोगों की जमात को Shall और Consider में फ़र्क़ शायद समझ में नहीं आता।— digvijaya singh (@digvijaya_28) June 12, 2021
During the same conversation on clubhouse, Singh on religious fundamentalism said, “I sincerely believe what is dangerous to the society is the religious fundamentalism, whether it is Hindu, Islam, Christianity or Sikhism. It only leads to hatred, which eventually leads to violence.”
Religious groups have to realise that everyone has the right to follow the traditions and faith which they adhere to and no one has the right to impose their beliefs and religion on anyone else, he added.
