He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah h "finished" former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's doctrine on resolving J&K issue which was based on principles of "Kashmiriyat" (legacy of Kashmir), "jamhooriyat" (democracy) and "insaniyat" (humanism).

"If Mahatma Gandhi would have been alive on day Article 370 was voided, he would have anunced a yatra from Red Fort in Delhi to Lal Chowk in Srinagar, he said.

former Mhya Presh chief minister was speaking at a function organised here to mark 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Rajya Sabha MP said Vajpayee knew what holds key to solving deces-old Kashmir issue.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee always maintained 'Kashmiriyat', 'jamhooriyat', 'insaniyat', hold key to Kashmir problem.

But Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have bid a farewell to Ataljis three principles and finished off his doctrine, Singh said.
