NEW DELHI: As part of BJP's mass contact campaign to make people aware of the significance of nullifying Articles 370 and 35A, party working president JP Nadda on Wednesday released a video with details on the recent legislations abrogating special status to J&K and bifurcating the state into two Union territories.The video opens with PM Narendra Modi 's address from the Red Fort in which he said if the provisions were so integral to development of the state, why were they not given permanent status even as parties (Congress) had huge majority governments.The video concludes with Modi's address to the nation. The 11-minute video mentioned how Congress under Jawaharlal Nehru committed a "historic blunder" on Kashmir to which leaders like BR Ambedkar and Vallabhbhai Patel had strongly opposed.BJP said Patel merged 562 princely states with India but Jawaharlal Nehru decided to handle the Kashmir issue himself. "Pandit Nehru committed a historic blunder by approaching the UN on Kashmir and later gave it special status, which was not acceptable to many Congress leaders," BJP claimed. It went on to claim that Ambedkar had termed Article 370 as "(betrayal)" with the country and refused to draft it when asked by Nehru to do so.In the video, home minister Amit Shah's announcement in Parliament about nullification of special status to J&K is followed by a detailed statement by former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee about how he resolved to carry forward the pledge taken by Syama Prasad Mookerjee, who had opposed the provision of "do vidhan, do pradhan aur do nishan" applicable in J&K.The video will be used by BJP in its mass contact plan.
