Mamata Banerjee also slammed the BJP over the farm laws, saying that farmers’ demands for their repeal are “absolutely correct.”
Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, claimed she was unaware of the likely discussion in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s all-party meeting over Jammu and Kashmir.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responded to reports that the summit might include discussions on statehood for Jammu and Kashmir and said, “I’m not sure why the statehood was stripped away in the first place. As a result of the action, the country’s reputation was damaged across the world.”
Mamata Banerjee also slammed the BJP over the farm laws, saying that farmers’ demands for their repeal are “absolutely correct.”
“Anyone who challenges the BJP is anti-national,” she said.
It is in place to mention that PM Modi is holding a key conference in New Delhi, reportedly on the future political course of action in Jammu and Kashmir, with 14 senior politicians including four former chief ministers.
This is the first such political activity since the Centre chose to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status, on August 5, 2019.
The meeting is also being attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, apart from the Prime Minister.
Farooq Abdullah, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Omar Abdullah, and Mehbooba Mufti are the four former chief ministers of Jammu & Kashmir who are attending the meeting.
The leaders of Jammu and Kashmir claimed they came with an open mind because the conference had no agenda.
