Article 370 was a mistake, says senior lawyer Harish Salve
Senior Indian lawyer Harish Salve on Wednesday endorsed Modi government's decision to revoke Article 370 to withdraw the special status of Jammu and Kashmir as a means of correcting a "mistake".
The Kashmir Constitution says Kashmir is an integral part of India, not just the Indian Constitution. It is Pakistan-occupied Kashmir that is the disputed territory, Harish Salve said.
Harish Salve was addressing the media at the Indian High Commission in London.
Speaking to India Today in London on the abrogation of Harish Salve said, I have been long-time votary of getting rid of 370. It was a mistake to allow it. Bigger mistake to allow it to fester. Calling the suggestion of discussion and debate on the matter, non-sense he said, doing it in one shot was the right decision.
