Srinagar (J&K) – MP Engineer Rashid of the Awami Ittehad Party, has made a serious claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked Article 370 in Kashmir only after consulting the Abdullah family. He accused the BJP of supporting the National Conference, which he claims is why the party’s candidates won in the Kashmir Valley. He further alleged that everything was pre-planned.

Rashid further said that just three days before Modi revoked Article 370, he met with Farooq Abdullah. Abdullah reportedly said that nothing would happen; however, Article 370 was ultimately revoked.
