Leader of Opposition and BJP MLA Sunil Sharma on Wednesday demanded that the Congress party clarify its position regarding the recent resolution on Article 370 and 35A.
Sharma questioned whether Congress had supported the resolution, and stated that if the six members backing it had indeed endorsed the proposal, it should be considered passed in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.
However, he termed the move as “unconstitutional” and stated that it had “no legal sanctity.
” Sharma reiterated that the Parliament had already abrogated Articles 370 and 35A, and that the Supreme Court had subsequently upheld this decision. He added that the state assembly was not above Parliament or the Supreme Court in matters of constitutional validity.(KNS)
