:dateline:On June 28, the Indian Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Indian parliament that the article 370 of Indian constitution was temporary and his saffron government is committed to �review� it. Notably, the article 370 of Indian constitution grants special status to the citizens of Jammu & Kashmir. �
�I agree there is Article 370, but you have forgotten the word temporary before it. It is temporary, not permanent� Article 370 is a temporary provision of our Constitution, remember this,� Shah said while speaking on the resolution seeking extension of president�s rule in Jammu & Kashmir for six months.
It is learnt that the opposition leaders strongly opposed Shah�s contentions by saying that the J&K can�t be treated like other states.
Meanwhile, the vice-president of National Conference Omar Abdullah has strongly opposed the extension of president�s rule in J&K using Article 356.
