Omar, Mufti fume over Jitendra Singh for Article 370 debate remark

New Delhi, May 28 (ANI): J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party Chief Mehbooba Mufti have slammed junior minister in Prime Minister’s Office, Jitendra Singh, over his remark on Article 370, which provides special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir. After taking charge, Singh on the very first day stirred controversy, saying that Kashmir has lost more than gained due to Article 370. The remark drew sharp reactions with Abdullah saying that Article 370 was the only constitutional link between J&K and rest of India. Abdullah tweeted, “long after Modi government is a distant memory, either J&K won’t be part of India or Art 370 will still exist.” Meanwhile, Mufti said no one could challenge the article as it was included in the Indian constitution.

Imran Khan appeals to Pak army chief for revival of dialogue with Taliban

South Waziristan, May 28 (ANI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, Imran Khan has appealed to the country’s army chief not to carry out any military operation in Waziristan and to revive peace talks with the Taliban . Last week, Pakistani forces launched rare air strikes against Taliban militants holed up in the remote, tribal belt near the Afghan border after several rounds of government-led talks aimed at ending an insurgency in the remote region failed. Although the government has said no decision for a full scale military operation in North Waziristan has been taken, on May 22, the military backed that up with the first major ground offensive against the Taliban. Imran Khan said the military offensive was turning the patriotic residents of Waziristan against their country. May 28, 2014
