The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Wednesday hit back at Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, saying the state would remain an integral part of India irrespective of Article 370 being repealed or not.
"J&K won't be part of India? Is Omar thinking its his parental estate? (Article) 370 or no 370 J&K has been and will always be an integral part of India," RSS spokesman Ram Madhav wrote on his Twitter handle.
Abdullah Tuesday said Jammu and Kashmir would not be a part of India if Article 370, which grants special status to the state, is revoked.
Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh Tuesday stirred up a controversy by declaring that the new government has started the process for repealing Article 370. He later said he was misquoted by the media.
