Rahul Gandhi questioned on Article 370
Rahul Gandhi in his speeches has always remained limited to the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir and never said a word on the rolling back of abrogation of Articles 370 and 35a on which its ally in the Valley has clearly stated its stand. NC has always been vocal against the scrapping of the articles, taking that into account, the UP CM asked if Rahul Gandhi supports bringing back Article 370 which brought the Valley into flames of terrorism.
On the National Conference's decision to give NOC (No Objection Certificate) trade to Pakistan for mutual trading, Yogi Adityanath who is also the Mahant of Gorakhnath Temple hit out at RaGa questioning his support to the party in the Valley.
