Taking a jibe at veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher, the Janata Dal (United) on Sunday said the 'new spokesperson' of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is unaware of Kashmir's history.

"Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) new spokesperson Anupam Kher may be doesn't know the history of Kashmir. The Constitution had included Article 370 when Kashmir was included in India...may be Anupam Kher was a child then," JD (U) leader K.C. Tyagi told ANI.

Kher said on Saturday that the Kashmir problem will be solved once Article 370 of the Constitution is gone.

Speaking at an event in Jammu, Kher said, "The day a Bengali, a Gujarati, a Marathi, a Keralaite or a Punjabi is able to purchase land and start his own venture there, I feel the Kashmir problem will get solved. When all the people will live together, then who will kill whom.but it does not suit anybody''.
