Vakil questions Farooq Abdullah for giving silent burail to Gupkar Declaration in Lok Sabha speech

Srinagar: Former minister and senior vice president Peoples Conference Abdul Gani Vakil today questioned NC president and MP Farooq Abdullah for giving a miss to Article 370 in his maiden speech in Lok Sabha since the abrogation of JKs special status.

In a statement issued here, Vakil said it’s astonishing to see that Abdullah who made his maiden speech in the Parliament of India gave a complete miss to the revocation of Article 370.

“Though he spoke about dialogue with Pakistan and internet ban, but Farooq didn’t utter a single word about revocation of Article 370 and the Gupkar declaration,” Vakil said.

Vakil said people were hoping that Farooq Abdullah would talk about Gupkar declaration and the fall out of situation in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.

“But he gave a silent burial to the core issue in the parliament. This questions the sole purpose of Gupkar Declaration,” he added.
Missing the best opportunity to highlight issue of Article 370, 35 A by Farooq Abdullaha in his maiden speech in Lok Sabha Yesterday is astonishing and unfortunate. Vakil commented.
