Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram pitched for greater autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir yet again on Saturday, drawing stinging criticism from the BJP, with union minister Smriti Irani calling it "shocking and shameful". "The demand in the Kashmir Valley is to respect the letter and spirit of Article 370, that means they want greater autonomy. My interactions in Jammu and Kashmir led me to the conclusion that when they ask for azadi, mostly, I am not saying all... the overwhelming majority, they want autonomy," he told reporters in Rajkot, Gujarat. "Yes, I do," Mr Chidambaram said when he was asked if he still thinks that the state should be given greater autonomy. Mr Chidambaram had, in July 2016, advocated greater autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir, saying India should restore the "grand bargain" under which Kashmir had acceded by granting a large degree of autonomy to it. He had warned that otherwise the country will have to pay a "heavy price". लेटेस्ट न्यूज व्हिडीओज् पाहाण्यासाठी...सबस्क्राईब करा आमचा यूट्युब चॅनेल...http://bit.ly/jmnsubscribe Subscribe to our channel for Latest news and updates in marathi, marathi news, maharashtra news, breaking news, headlines, Latest news, video, marathi newspaper, marathi movie, sports news, international news, world news, crickets, entertainment news, bollywood, National news, Agriculture, business, Politics news, health, science, business, exclusive news, Live TV, photogallery, blog, poll, opinion, मराठी न्यूज, जय महाराष्ट्र न्यूज, महाराष्ट्र न्यूज.
