In J&K, state was downgraded to UT, it’s like demoting CM to MLA: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday hit out at the central government for stripping the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, saying it was like demoting a chief minister to the post of MLA.

“Usually, UTs are upgraded to state. But in our case, state was downgraded to UT. It’s like demoting DGP to post of thanedaar, CM to MLA, and chief secretary to Patwari. No wise man can do this,” Azad was quoted as saying by news agency ANI at an event in Kulgam.

Last month, Ghulam Nabi Azad had said that the situation in J&K was better before the abrogation of Article 370. “We were told that scenario in J&K will change after abrogation of Art 370. Growth, hospitals, unemployment will be taken care of. But that has not happened at all. As a matter of fact, we were far better when it was being ruled by various CMs,” ANI quoted him as saying.

“So, we are a great loser. We are a great loser after the state has been divided into two. We are a great loser ever since the Assembly has been dissolved,” he added.

On August 5, 2019, the Centre revoked the special status accorded to Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 and 35A.
