He also hit out at “self-appointed experts” appearing on TV shows to debate Article 370, asking them to read the provision of the Constitution guaranteeing special status to the state before forming an opinion on it.
“Dear self-appointed Kashmir experts appearing on TV channels to debate Art 370 PLEASE read Art 370 before forming an opinion about it,” Omar wrote on Twitter. The chief minister and BJP have been engaged in a war of words since Modi said there should be a debate on whether Article 370 had benefited the state.
Modi had said his party wanted a discussion on various aspects of the constitutional provision, while Omar had maintained that the Gujarat CM was “badly-informed or lying” on the issue.
