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.

The desolation of the box office is not taking its name. While no film was released in Hindi cinemas this Friday, the condition of both ‘Ek Villain Returns’ and ‘Vikrant Rona’ released last week is very bad. On Sunday, both the films have traveled to their second weekend. Directed by Mohit Suri, Ek Villain Returns has earned only Rs 36.88 crore in 10 days, while Kicha Sudeep’s film is not doing well either. It has been 11 days since Kiccha Sudeep’s ‘Vikrant Rona’ released and the film has so far collected just Rs 71.65 crore at the Indian box office. However, one thing is for sure that after the second weekend, ‘Vikrant Rona’ has earned almost twice as much as ‘Ek Villain Returns’. But the condition of this film in Hindi is very bad.
