Union Minister JP Nadda, while taking part in the Constitution debate in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, raked up Jammu and Kashmir. He said the Centre, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had ended the one-nation, two-constitutions policy in the union territory.
He said, “We ended one nation-two constitutions policy in J&K. The 106 laws passed by Parliament were not applicable there.”
He said Rajeev Gandhi’s 73rd and 74th Amendment acts were also not applicable to J&K.
“The then Home Minister Sardar Patel was given the work of uniting the country and I was very happy that after a long time, I heard the name of Sardar Patel from the Congress side too. After a long time, I heard the Congress people speaking about the great man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He united 562 princely states and left Jammu and Kashmir to the then Prime Minister,” the Rajya Sabha MP added.
The BJP national chief said the constitution was framed keeping India’s
culture
in mind. “The constitution bears the imprint of our
culture
, it reflects the marks of Ajanta and Ellora, and it also shows the imprint of the lotus,” he said.
Nadda Invites Congress To Mark 50 Years Of Emergency
The senior politician brought up “emergency” and slammed the Congress party, saying “BJP invites you to mark 50 years of emergency”.
Addressing the grand old party chief Mallikarjun Karjun, he asked, “You gave us the first gift (emergency) within the first 25 years of Independence. Why should we not talk about it?”
