What Digvijay Singh said
In this clubhouse chat, in response to the question of Pakistani journalist, Digvijay Singh allegedly said, ‘When they removed Article 370 from Kashmir, there was no democracy there. There was no humanity there, because everyone was put in jail. Kashmiriyat is part of the secularism there, because the king of the Muslim-majority state was a Hindu and the two worked together. Even in Kashmir, Kashmiri Pandits were given reservation in government jobs. In such a situation, the decision to remove Article 370 was very sad and when the Congress comes to power, the decision to remove 370 will be reconsidered.
