Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, on Sunday, at the News18 Agenda India Summit, said removing Article 35A, which grants special rights and privileges to the citizens of Jammu & Kashmir, is in the BJP manifesto and has been so since 1950.

Shah said, “It has not happened until now as we do not have a majority in Rajya Sabha, but I believe it will happen by 2020. Removing Article 35A has been in our manifesto since 1950, it is our commitment to the people of the country.”

He also claimed that abrogating Article 35A was the party’s commitment to the people of the country.
