Seeking restoration of statehood for Jammu and kashmir, Congress leader P Chidambaram on Monday said Parliament should repeal the “offending” laws in the upcoming Monsoon session and restore the status quo ante there.
“What was made under the Constitution cannot be unmade by an Act of Parliament, misinterpreting and misusing the provision of the Constitution,” he said.
His remarks come ahead of the June 24 meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi where 14 political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir , including four former chief ministers, have been invited for talks.
Mr. Chidambaram noted that one should remember that the “dismembering” of J&k has been challenged in the Supreme Court and the cases are pending for nearly 2 years.
He asserted that it is the only way to draw the starting line for a political resolution of the Kashmir issue.
