Soon after, Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah strongly objected to the minister's statement and tweeted, "So the new MOS PMO says process/discussions to revoke Art 370 have started. Wow, that was a quick beginning. Not sure who is talking."

"Art 370 is the ONLY constitutional link between J&K & rest of India. Talk of revocation of not just ill informed it's irresponsible," he added.
NDTV later quoted Jitendra Singh as saying, "the statement on Article 370 has been misquoted, the controversy is totally baseless,"
Repeating the stand of Modi during his rally in December last year, Singh, a first time Parliament member and a surprise choice as minister of state in the PMO, had earlier in the day said, "his (Modi's) intention and that of the government is that we have a debate so that we can convince the unconvinced about the disadvantages of Article 370," PTI reported.....

There probably is no basis for Article 370, considering India got hold of Kashmir when that country came under attack from Pakistan and decided to join with India.

Omar Abdullah is on his way out. He didn't anticipate the huge victory that Modi got. Mufti and his daughter may come back to power after the next election in J&K.

I think Naren baba should do what he threatened to do after his marriage i.e. take up sanyasam, head to Kashmir and fix that nagging issue once for all.
