SC verdict on Article 370 disappointing: Sajad Lone

Peoples Conference (PC) chief Sajad Lone said, “The Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 is disappointing. Justice yet again eludes the people of J and K.”

He said Article 370 may have been legally obliterated, but will always remain a part of our political aspirations.

In the case of statehood, Lone said, the Supreme Court “sidestepped even commenting on it, thus protecting the entire country from any future misuse, by citing precedence”.

“Yet the same misuse was subtly endorsed in J&K. Let us hope at a future date, justice wakes up from its slumber of pretence,” the PC president said.
