Wrong precedent set for other states by abrogating Article 370: Manish Tewari

Aug 06, 2019

New Delhi, Aug 06 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday moved Jammu and Kashmir (reorganisation), 2019 in the Lok Sabha today. During the discussion, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, “Indian constitution does not have only Article370. It also has Article 371 A to I. They provide special rights to Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra, Sikkim etc. Today when you are scrapping Article 370, what message are you sending to these states that you can revoke Article 371 tomorrow? By imposing President's rule in the north eastern states, and using the rights of their Assemblies in the Parliament, you can scrap Article 371 too? What kind of Constitutional precedent are you setting in the country?”
