New Delhi: Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of Union Minister of state for HRD Shashi Tharoor today indirectly backed BJP leader Narendra Modi on the issue of removing Article 370 that provides Jammu and Kashmir a special link with the Indian Union.
Speaking to an English news channel, Sunanda, who is herself from Kashmir said: "I want someone to re-look at this article (Article 370). I am not asking to abolish it but please give us back our home also."
Sunanda Pushkar also said, "I have not benefited from this article. Kashmiri Pandits have not benefited from this article many Muslim girls have not benefited from this article."
On Article 370, Tharoor's wife said, "Actually I am quite sure my husband would be annoyed with me answering this question but I do also have a voice I am a woman I am a Kashmiri very proudly Kashmiri and I do beg pardon of my husband if I say this but because he is a very big fan of Jawaharlal Nehru but what I don't understand when this accord was formed ....... why is about Kashmir that we can't do it."
Sunanda married Shashi Tharoor in 2010.
