Omar Abdullah and Asaduddin Owaisi oppose Home Minister Amit Shah's Kashmir policy, as Lok Sabha passes J&K Reservation bill

National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah, on Friday, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah's argument justifying the use of Article 356 of the Constitution to extend President's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir is "unacceptable".

His remarks came after Shah moved a statutory resolution in the Lok Sabha to extend President's Rule in the state for another six months with effect from July 3.

Later, replying to a debate in the House over the resolution, the minister hit out at the Congress, saying so far Article 356 (President's Rule) has been imposed 132 times of which the opposition party used it 93 times to dismiss state governments. Jammu and Kashmir does not have an elected dispensation since the PDP-BJP coalition government fell apart in June 2018.
