In a tweet, Rahul said in a tweet, “The government has violated the Constitution by removing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, the government has broken national integration, elected representatives of Jammu and Kashmir were captured, the country is made up of people, pieces of land No. The abuse of power threatens the security of the country.
National integration isn’t furthered by unilaterally tearing apart J&K, imprisoning elected representatives and violating our Constitution. This nation is made by its people, not plots of land.

This abuse of executive power has grave implications for our national security.

Article 370 was amended twice during the Congress rule. Amit Shah also said that whenever he speaks of Jammu and Kashmir, the POK also includes him.
Union Minister Jintendra Singh said during the discussion, “Why is the Congress opposing the removal of Article 370. We are pushing forward the agenda of the Congress.”
